Dedicated in April 2018 after a development phase of several years, the Con Edison Trading Room is a state of the art experiential learning facility designed to replicate the trading floors found in every institution throughout the financial world.  The facility gives students and faculty access to real time information and industry standard tools and applications.
When not being used for classes, the Con Edison Trading Room is available for students from all backgrounds to complete research and assignments such as the CFA Institute Research Challenge and Bloomberg Market Concepts Certification.
The Con Edison Trading Room also provides a venue for presentations by industry representatives. Bloomberg and FINRA are among the companies whose representatives have visited the Con Edison Trading Room, where they have shared their work experiences and outlined their student internship and career programs.
