Nice to read about Marquette students doing well off the basketball court, too.

The following is from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Marquette students advance in investment contest

   Five undergraduate students from Marquette University's College of Business Administration have advanced to the Global Investment Research Challenge regional competition in New York from March 18 to March 20.
   The Marquette students -- Alison Bettonville, Chris Cebula, Brian Finnie, Maggie Hughes and Anna Toshach -- beat a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee team in the final round of the local competition. Marquette and UWM earned final-round spots after besting UW-Madison, UW-Whitewater, the Milwaukee School of Engineering, Alverno College, Wisconsin Lutheran College and Carroll University. All teams analyzed a Milwaukee-based small-cap industrial firm.
   This is Marquette's first year in the competition, sponsored by the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute. The winner in New York will compete against three other regional winners in the global finals, April 2, in London.

ANOTHER victory over UW-Madison.        They are all at least a little satisfying.
