Bloomberg reports on the RIT team that won the 2024 Bloomberg Global Trading Challenge.

The team, supported by faculty adviser and finance professor Hao Zhang, won the 2024 Bloomberg Global Trading Challenge.

The team is the first to earn the Ramsey Family Innovation Award, which will provide annual support for one student team each year enrolled in the RIT Student Accelerator program.

Saunders College of Business Professors Chun-Keung “Stan” Hoi and Sean Hansen were installed as endowed professors during a Sept. 26 ceremony.

Chen, a Beta Gamma Sigma honoree this past April, has also earned the Saunders College of Business Women’s Alumnae Network, and Daniel D. Tessoni and Donald Margolis CPA endowed scholarships.

Each of the recipients will receive scholarships over the course of four years. The award was established in 2006 by E. Philip Saunders to provide four-year scholarships annually to graduates of designated Livingston County high schools who are enrolled in Saunders College of Business. Since then, he has donated more than $25 million to RIT.
