In March, two teams of PCSB students competed in the regional CFA Research Challenge finals held at the University of Connecticut. One of these teams took first place in this local competition and went on to represent Rhode Island and Connecticut at the CFA Americas Regional Research Challenge held in Atlanta in April.

What began on the local level as a competition among more than 800 colleges and universities ended with a Top 20 finish in the Americas Regional for this team, which included undergraduates William Haas ’15 and Patrick O’Donnell ’15 as well as MBA students James Carrington, John Vesce, and Elizabeth Worthley. Congratulations to these students on a job well done!
