Nonprofi t Organization U.S. Postage PAID Mount Pleasant, MI 48859 Permit No. 93 Exchange College of Business Administration 250 Applied Business Studies Complex Central Michigan University Mount Pleasant, MI 48859 Sign up for the CMU Alumni Investment Challenge. The College of Business Administration is starting an alumni-only Stock-Trak virtual stock exchange game this semester – similar to the competition the Martha Seger Fund helped start at CMU in 1993 that allows students to exercise and test their investing strategies. If you are interested in participating or would like more information go to cba.cmich.edu. Investing in the students Martha Seger – the fi rst woman appointed to a full term on the Federal Reserve Board (by President Reagan) – taught fi nance on CMU's campus in the 1980s. Seger, a former member of the Federal Open Market Committee, wanted CMU's students to have a real-world understanding of the fi nancial world. And she still does. To leave a learning legacy on campus, Seger donated seed money to start the Martha Seger Fund, which provides CMU fi nance students with an opportunity to manage an investment fund with real profi ts and losses. Money from the Fund awards students who place high in CMU's Stock-Trak competition and pays for the CMU Stock-Trak awards banquet. The Fund, started in 1993, can use alumni support to continue to fund student functions and fi nancial educational opportunities. To donate to the Martha Seger Fund, contact Jay Lanctot at jay.lanctot@cmich.edu or 989-774-1732. Martha Seger
