By Dylan Gutowski, Co-President of SJR’s Stock Market Club
SJR’s Stock Market Club is excited to announce that this year’s virtual stock market game has already attracted over 120 students, doubling last year’s competitors! This rapid growth highlights the growing interest in finance and investing at SJR.
What is the Stock Market Game?
For those unfamiliar, the Stock Market Game is a simulation that lets students invest $1 million in stocks and mutual funds, providing a hands-on introduction to the stock market without any financial risk. Whether you’re an experienced investor or new to the world of finance, the game is a fantastic way to learn, compete, and have fun.
What’s New
This year, we’re adding a focus on career networking! In addition to the stock competition, the club will host a “LinkedIn 101” workshop to help members develop professional profiles and start building connections early. Our Corporate Outreach Officers, Jayden Baldwin and Angelo Ruscitto, are working to establish partnerships with local businesses and alumni to bring in guest speakers and sponsorships.
