After capturing a record-breaking fifth national championship this fall, the Federal Reserve Challenge Team was presented with proclamations from elected officials recognizing their incredible feat. The win, Pace’s fifth in the past eight competitions, makes Pace the winningest program in the history of the Federal Reserve College Challenge, surpassing Harvard.
The proclamations, signed by New York State Assemblymembers Deborah Glick and Yuh-Line Niou, were presented to the team at a special recognition event on Thursday, March 31, in the Bianco Room on the New York City Campus. Pace University President Marvin Krislov, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences Dean Tresmaine Grimes, PhD, and Economics Department Chair Joseph Morreale, PhD, delivered congratulatory remarks, as economics department faculty and students and Federal Reserve Challenge Team alumni gathered to celebrate the team’s legacy of success.
