UConn Stamford students participate in the College Fed Challenge national competition every year. As an added bonus for participating, the team travelled to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington, DC, for an Open.

In addition to summarizing results from the 2024 competition, the agenda of the Open House focused on showcasing various segments of the Fed’s functions and sharing career opportunities available at the Board for graduates with bachelor's degrees. Participants heard from Brian Bonis, Assistant Secretary of the FOMC, Matt Eichner, Director of the Division of Reserve Bank Operations and Payment Systems, and a panel of former Fed Challenge participants, who are now employed as RAs at the Board.

The students were excited to participate in the Open House and are appreciative of the many University entities that provided funding for this trip. The sponsors are Department of Economics, the Business School, CLAS Dean’s Office, UConn Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills, and Stamford campus administration. Thank you!
