The Rogers Trading Room Challenge

Thanks to the participation of more than 200 alumni and friends, the Rogers Family Trading Room will reap the benefits of a strong endowment for years to come.

About the Rogers Family Trading Room

Equipped with real-time stock tickers, advanced trading software, and integrated video conferencing capabilities, thousands of finance students as well as those from other majors, faculty, and alumni have benefitted from this unique learning resource. When its doors opened, the Rogers Family Trading Room was one of the first facilities of its kind in higher education. It quickly became a highly used laboratory and classroom and a must-see destination for visitors to University Park. While the cost to maintain the Trading Room is significant, a healthy endowment generates reliable, sustainable income every year. Additional gifts are always welcome to support this important fund.

To make a gift toward the Smeal College Trading Room Endowment, contact Sean Miller, Senior Director of Development at 814-865-7830 or by email at smm401@psu.edu, or give online.
