The Wall Street Trading room at Saint Joseph's University Erivan K. Haub School of Business supports the financial education of our students and provides them with the knowledge and skills required for competing in a global job market. The room provides access to electronic sources of financial and investment data, analytical tools, and trading simulations. The room allows hands-on learning, curriculum enhancements, and more effective class projects. Trading simulations provide opportunities for real trading experiences. Continuous access to financial data and software provides an integrated learning environment to focus on analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
Claver House, home of the honors program, is the site for resources dedicated specifically for honors students. Inside Claver House are two conference rooms that are also used as classrooms, a computer lab, and a student lounge with twenty-four hour access, seven days a week. This specially designed building allows for a quiet retreat where honors students can study, work with personal computers and attend receptions.
Mandeville Hall, a multi-million dollar, international, academic facility, is home to the Erivan K. Haub School of Business and a host of high-tech educational innovations. International teleconferencing is one example of the technological advances available to students in Mandeville Hall. Its many features include the area's first true teletorium, a 175-person amphitheater equipped with satellite broadcast and down-link technology, docu-cameras, full sound and projection systems, and laptop Internet ports at every seat. Teletorium events may also be carried via closed circuit to several other video outlets in the building.
The University Gallery serves the University's students, faculty and staff, as well as the diverse communities of the surrounding tri-state area. The Gallery hosts eight shows, the first five feature professional artists, who are mostly but not exclusively from the area. (Submission of slides for consideration is open to the public, please see below.) The sixth is the Senior Arts Thesis Exhibition that highlights the year-long projects of the Senior Art Majors. The Student Arts Festival follows with an all-day celebration of art, music, and theater. |
