James H. Schibli, a RHS grad, and a member of the St. Lawrence University Fed Challenge team, will take part in the semifinal round of the College Fed Challenge on Nov. 14 at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The morning consists of nine teams presenting to Federal Reserve employees, and of the nine, two teams will move on to the final round held that afternoon, which consists of a 30 minute question and answer session. Advancing to the semi-final round has only been done twice since St. Lawrence began competing in the Fed Challenge.
Students practiced their presentations to six different alumni groups at six different financial institutions.
