Najand will show us, first-hand, how Bloomberg for Education brings the real world of finance into the classroom, exposing students to the industry-leading Bloomberg Professional service and giving them an edge when they enter the workplace. Students can enhance research and class assignments while they learn how to analyze financial markets, assess economic scenarios, and interpret developments that impact the local economy. The terminals also provide in-depth information in other disciplines, including health care and pharmaceuticals, supply chain management, energy, agriculture, journalism, government, economics, public policy, and law.</p> <p> For more information about the Provost’s Conversations on Teaching and Learning series, including highlights from past years’ Conversations and a calendar of upcoming Conversation dates, visit the Conversations’ website at <a href="http://clt.odu.edu/pctl">http://clt.odu.edu/pctl</a>.</p> <p> </p>
