Feliciano School of Business Students Gain Exclusive NYSE Experience Through Quad-A Initiative

Five students from Montclair State University’s Feliciano School of Business recently had the opportunity to experience the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) first hand, gaining exposure to financial markets and networking opportunities. This prestigious experience came through an exclusive lottery organized by the American Association of African American Financial Advisors (Quad-A), with only 20 spots available to finance and business students across the country.

Brenden Bazan, Nicholas Koloski, Nyla Egerton, Keyle Pacaja, and Justin Wexler proudly represented the Feliciano School of Business. During their visit, the students immersed themselves in the dynamic world of finance. They toured the historic NYSE trading floor, observed the Closing Bell ceremony, and participated in an engaging fireside chat featuring CNBC anchor Frank Holland and Reggie Browne, a Principal at GTS known as the “Godfather of ETFs”. These interactions provided valuable insights into market operations, financial technology, and career pathways within the industry.

This event was a testament to the power of networking, initiative, and academic excellence. As the Feliciano School of Business continues to foster such opportunities, its students are well-positioned to thrive in the ever-evolving financial landscape.
