Press Conference: Bloomberg Labs (VIP ONLY at Dallas College)

VIPs are invited to join an exclusive invitation only press conference at Dallas College Richland Campus.

Join YTexas, Bloomberg and Dallas College for a special press conference showcasing Bloomberg Labs, a new training ground for Ya'll street!

Gone are the days when financial competency was limited to balancing a checkbook. From analyzing price-to-earnings ratios to forecasting economic data, a new tool promises to propel Dallas College students into the ever-changing world of finance. It’s called the Bloomberg Finance and Investment Lab, and judging by the large screens and intricate machines, you may assume this was just another trading room on Wall Street. This newly constructed setup is housed on Dallas College’s Richland Campus and aims to serve as a training ground for students looking to immerse themselves in the stock and trade of the business world. Offering real-world experiences. What started as simply a goal to bring such a lab to the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex in 2018 is now an unprecedented reality.

Richland’s analytical powerhouse, now occupying the space of an old journalism lab, is equipped with 12 fully functional Bloomberg terminals and an interactive market wall featuring the latest on stocks, bonds and other investment data. But more importantly, it is the first and only lab of its kind at any community college in Texas.“It’s certainly a big deal, especially at the community college level. That’s why I jumped all over it,” said Todd Senick, the lab’s newly hired director of instructional support. “It’s getting those students to light up to the idea of pursuing finance as a career.”
