QC Students Participate in the Quinnipac GAME Forum
Seven students from our BA in Economics and BBA in Finance programs had the incredible opportunity to attend the Quinnipiac GAME Forum in April 2025, a premier gathering of students, finance professionals and thought leaders. From dynamic panel discussions to expert-led sessions, the conference offered our students a front-row seat to the latest insights in asset management, investments, fintech, AI, women in finance and the current global and U.S. economic outlook.
The students were especially inspired by the engaging conversations with industry leaders who shared real-world perspectives and emerging trends shaping the future of finance. We are proud to see our students representing Queens College School of Business and bringing back knowledge that will enrich their academic journey and professional growth. A big thank you to the organizers and speakers for an unforgettable experience!
