April in Omaha

Congratulations to Richard Reynolds, Ryan Bennett, and Liam Bain, three undergraduate finance students who recently won the Oregon round of the CFA Institute Global Investment Research Challenge. Though their entire presentation received high marks from all the judges, "the clear differentiator was the team's oral presentation, which was outstanding in all regards," said Beth Hjelm, interim director of the Securities Analysis Center and the team's faculty advisor. Now the team heads off to Omaha, where they will compete for a spot in the global finals--against more than forty teams from schools all over North and South America.
