The Bloomberg Institute is in the process of developing an innovative, “best in class” assessment targeting college and undergraduate students from around the world, who are interested in careers in finance and related fields. The proprietary Bloomberg Assessment (“BAT”) measures strengths and weaknesses across 12 distinct dimensions (knowledge and skills, both financial and non-financial), and requires no financial background.

Title: Rural China’s Schools: Challenges and Potential Solutions

Abstract: Two big earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria on February 6. Thousands of buildings collapsed, and hundreds of thousands became trapped under the rubble. So far more than 21,000 lost their lives, and many more are injured. The death toll is estimated to reach 200,000 as more bodies are recovered. Entire cities and villages have been destroyed. With more than 10 million people left homeless, some doubly by war and now natural disaster, the earthquake stands as one of the biggest humanitarian crises of this century.

Students in ECON 365 Climate Change Economics will present their posters of research findings based on the campus-wide survey of climate policy attitudes in November 2022.
