Members of Michigan Tech's championship investment team have been invited to appear on CNBC's finance program "Power Lunch."
Students in Dean Johnson's Applied Portfolio Management Program will be featured on Wednesday, Feb. 19. The two-hour program begins at noon, and the MTU segment is tentatively scheduled to be broadcast live from Michigan Tech at 1:30 p.m. CNBC can be seen locally on Charter Communications channel 46.
The team members are Lisa Rajala, of Houghton; Peter D. Heydlauff, of Chelsea; Autumn Chalker of Buckley; Dawit Dagmawi,of Versoix, Switzerland; Chad Habermehl, of Rogers City; Christoph Gasser, of Thun, Switzerland, Oren Bottoms, of Hibbing, Minn.; and Jeremy Resmer, of Shelby Township.
"This is another in a long string of successes for the students in this program," said Johnson, an assistant professor in MTU's School of Business and Economics. "They deserve a lot of credit."
Last year, students in the Applied Portfolio Management Program beat out dozens of student investors from business schools across the U.S. and Canada to win the second annual RISE Symposium in the Blended category. As one of the three winning teams, they opened the Nasdaq stock exchange in Times Square and appeared on the CNBC finance program "Squawk Box."
Since then, they have been featured in Business Week, and two student team members placed first and third in the Pine Mountain Music Festival Stock Picking Contest.
The Applied Portfolio Management Program lets students manage an investment portfolio of real money that has grown to over $300,000, largely from alumni donations but also from the careful management of the student investors.
