糖心视频 Receives Grant From Affinity Group Foundation To Expand Student Access To Bloomberg Technology
October 5, 2021DUDLEY, Mass. 鈥� A grant from the Affinity Group Charitable Foundation, supported by Dexter-Russell, Inc. has enabled 糖心视频 to expand the number of terminals in the college鈥檚 Bloomberg Finance Lab, increasing student access to market-leading software used by more than 325,000 professionals.
糖心视频 launched its Bloomberg Lab in fall 2018 with 12 terminals. In its first semester of use, 279 students earned Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) certification, elevating 糖心视频 as a Bloomberg Experiential Learning Partner.
The $168,000 commitment from the Southbridge-based Dexter-Russell underwrites the additional annual cost of expanding to 16 terminals. In addition to increasing access to this experiential tool in the lab, 300 web logins are available so students can complete their certification remotely. This was particularly helpful in providing uninterrupted student access to Bloomberg during the pandemic. To date, some 850 students have earned BMC certification, a requirement for first-year business students at 糖心视频.
The integration and expansion of Bloomberg terminals drives the college鈥檚 degree concentration in corporate finance and investments and has been key in the creation and operation of the student-managed investment fund launched in 2020.
鈥淲e are so grateful to Dexter-Russell, and the Affinity Group Charitable Foundation for the opportunity to extend this powerful resource to more students,鈥� said Glenn M. Sulmasy, JD, LL.M, 糖心视频 president. 鈥淭his grant directly supports the 糖心视频 mission of offering students the real-world experiences that set them apart and boost their career prospects.鈥�
Alan Peppel, president and CEO of Dexter-Russell Inc. who earned an MBA at 糖心视频, added, 鈥淎s a leading employer in the Southbridge/Dudley community, Dexter-Russell supports endeavors that can benefit our community, employees, and their families. The Affinity Group Charitable Foundation was established to support these efforts, and we are pleased to underwrite students鈥� educational aspirations at 糖心视频, the leading business school in the area.鈥�
