Posted on Wed, August 26, 2009
At Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, more than 4,600 students benefit from the resources and opportunities of a major research university provided in a welcoming student-centered college environment. Students can choose from thirty-four bachelor’s, six associate, and two graduate degree programs.
The Sam and Irene Black School of Business is accredited by AACSB International, which sets the global standard for schools of business. This accreditation applies to all business programs, including the MBA., which is listed in U.S. News and World Report’s “America’s Best Graduate Schools-2005” and in Princeton Review’s “Best Business Schools.”
Rise Display recently installed several electronic displays, including four LCD Displays, a world clock and an eight-color led ticker, at Penn State Erie’s new trading lab. According to Brian Boscaljon, Associate Professor, they built the lab to “create an educational environment for business students” and installed Rise signage to “display real time information, market environment and conditions.” He said they chose Rise because of their “experience dealing with schools.”
Dr. Boscaljon identified their target audience as “current and potential students and alumni and potential donors” and said that their new signs have resulted in “more engaged students”. Asked what benefit he liked most about the Rise display solution, he replied, “Relevant information to capture students interest and curiosity.”
