Willie D. Davis Financial and Investment Laboratory
The Green Bay Packers honored the late Packers great and Pro Football Hall of Famer Willie Davis with a $250,000 impact grant toward the establishment of the Willie D. Davis Finance & Investment Laboratory within the University's rapidly growing Cofrin School of Business. The Willie Davis Finance & Investment Laboratory is a collaborative space and a lab environment designed for hands-on business education.
The space is equipped with LED Tickers, displays and with Bloomberg Terminals for market data and Morningstar Terminals for fundamental data. This 35-seat trading lab will accommodate business class trading floor simulations​. This financial analysis and services lab provides students real-world experience with securities and commodities trading.
A partnership focused around financial literacy with the emerging Personal Financial Planning Program will drive community impact and foster a commitment to social responsibility as well as support the Cofrin School of Business’ stand-alone Finance major and Personal Financial Planning minor designed for Certified Financial Planning (CFP®) certification. The community asked for these programs, and we have responded!
The Advisory Board will offer mentorship opportunities to students. The board will also provide guidance for programming and insight on technology that is central to the delivery of a modern business education.
