Research databases, trading simulation software, and access to global financial resources allow students to link classroom lessons to real-life securities and markets.<div class="image-caption-container right" style="width:550px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/CFMRT-Cal-FMA.jpg" alt=""></div></p><p>&ldquo;Our programming is geared toward working professionals looking to earn the skills and credentials needed to advance their careers,&rdquo; says Lynda Thai-Baird, manager of the CFMRT on the U of L&rsquo;s Lethbridge campus. &ldquo;Our focus is to meet the needs of our Calgary campus student population by providing these students the same level of accessibility, and creating a seamless learning experience, on both campuses.&rdquo;</p><p>The Centre, created in collaboration with Bow Valley College, is designed to provide a focal point for research and training in a range of financial disciplines, including investment strategy and portfolio management, financial engineering and risk management, trading and analysis of the microstructure of markets.</p><p>In 2010, the U of L&rsquo;s Lethbridge campus opened the first CFMRT and it has proven to be a big draw for students, giving them the opportunity to participate in real-time exercises under actual market conditions.

This experience is invaluable to them once they graduate.&rdquo;</p><p>In addition to the academic activities taking place in CFMRT, the room in Lethbridge has been used as a site for industry nights, high school trading competitions, university finance competitions, investment clubs and tours, all of which are now possible at the U of L&rsquo;s Calgary campus at Bow Valley College.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-facility-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facility:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/centre-financial-market-research-and-teaching" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Centre for Financial Market Research and Teaching</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-organization-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Organization:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/faculty-management" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Faculty of Management</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/lynda-thai-baird" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Lynda Thai-Baird</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/bob-boudreau" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Bob Boudreau</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/tanner-johnson" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Tanner Johnson</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge Calgary campus opens Centre for Financial Market Research and Teaching at BVC" class="rdf-meta"></span> Thu, 28 Sep 2017 21:01:17 +0000 trevor.kenney 9216 at /unews Second annual agribusiness case competition draws a dozen teams /unews/article/second-annual-agribusiness-case-competition-draws-dozen-teams <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p>Word has spread about the Cor Van Raay Agribusiness Case Competition co-hosted by Lethbridge College and the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge.
