Finance Club’s investments to assist deserving students

Members of Penn State Harrisburg’s student Finance Club will soon gain real-world experience in investments while raising funds to support deserving students.

The generosity of friends and alumni of the School of Business Administration has resulted to this point in a fund of $5,000 which the Finance Club members will use to invest in the stock market with profits supporting an annual award presented to an undergraduate student majoring in Finance.

$10,000 grants enhance faculty research partnerships with business

Penn State Harrisburg faculty research involving the creation of biodiesel fuel from a plant native to Central America, a single shower head which permits bathers with special needs to soap, shampoo, and rinse, and outer packaging for an infrared sensor have all earned grants from the region’s Innovation Transfer Network.

The grants of $10,000 each enhance the partnerships between three private companies and the faculty expertise to further develop the innovative products for commercial use.
