SALISBURY, MD---Ten economics and finance students from Salisbury University’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business will travel to New York in April 2013 to participate in the Global Asset Management Education Forum (GAME), thanks to a $5,000 gift from the PNC Foundation.

The gift supports the PNC Foundation GAME Student Travel Program, which will help cover travel expenses and registration fees for the forum, sponsored by Quinnipiac University. The event brings together top investment professionals from around the world to interact with students. Last year’s forum attracted more than 1,000 students and faculty from 118 colleges and universities, representing 43 countries, 42 states and the District of Columbia, as well as 124 speakers, panelists, workshop hosts and judges from 93 different companies and organizations.

“We are grateful for the generous support of the PNC Foundation which enhances the experiential learning opportunities available to our students, a key component of our mission at the Perdue School of Business,” said Dr. Herman Manakyan, professor of finance.
