Finance Club Trip to Chicago

Finance Club Trip to Chicago

The Finance Club just returned from their annual trip to Chicago. The trip was a great success with students learning what Chicago has to offer in the world of finance and also some great job seeking advice from alumni. The hospitality and generosity shown by the alumni was greatly appreciated.

The Club went to the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade and ThinkorSwim. ThinkorSwim is unique, fast growing company that is a specialized online trading platform, with many SBU alumni at the company.

Along of the formal visits the students and faculty on the trip got a chance to relax with alumni and really experience Chicago. The group went out for Chicago style deep dish pizza one night and to the top of the Hancock Building to check out a bird’s eye view of the city, among other things.

Thanks to all the alumni out in Chicago, we couldn’t have made the trip without you. A special thanks to Dr. Peterson, Professor Bootheway and the Cullen Brothers for all their help.
