Spring 2009 - New York City Trip

The sun shone on the Business Scholars in New York, especially during the guided walking tour of Lower Manhattan where they explored the historic and financial heart of Manhattan. The tour traced the development of Wall Street from its Colonial roots to the Big Board’s most recent travails, with stops at the New York Stock Exchange, Federal Reserve, the Wall Street Bull, Trinity Church, Ground Zero, Trinity Church and more. BSE’s other weekend activities included dinner Friday night, a visit to the 70th floor of Rockefeller Center, lunch at a historic Stone Street outdoor café in the Wall Street area and a stop at the Museum of American Finance. All the Scholars had the chance to see a Broadway show of their choosing and a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
