Students will learn how to build their investment skills and how to make their money work for them at the Stock Market Game beginning on Tuesday, April 18 as part of Financial Literacy Month.

The First-Year Program students will be part of an 8-week online simulation of the global capital markets where they will have a chance to learn about the world of economics, investing and personal finance.

They will have the opportunity to trade and manage a virtual $100,000 investment portfolio, striving to create the best-performing portfolio of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and more in a live trading environment.
