  • PGIM has generously provided $1 million over five years to support FAMU SBI’s preparation of the next generation of business school graduates. Furthermore, PwC has contributed $100,000 to purchase the computers for the Investments and Analytics Lab. 💝

  • “The ability to conduct financial and data-driven analysis is a critical piece for the 21st century business school graduate. HBCU graduates are historically behind their counterparts from PWIs due to software constraints and exposure, but the Investments and Analytics Lab aims to level the playing field,” said Samique March-Dallas, Ph.D., associate professor of finance in the School of Business and Industry, who is spearheading the lab.

  • The SBI Investments and Analytics Lab, which was previously called the Bloomberg Lab, is essential for equipping students for case competitions, class projects, internships, and full-time roles. The Lab has 30 Bloomberg subscriptions available to students, making it one of the few HBCU labs with that many Bloomberg licenses.
