Student Statement

"Prior to attending the FMA conference, our team was very excited about the idea of representing our university on a national level. We really wanted to show everyone what Cal State LA was all about. We selected three of our best representatives to compete against 40 other schools in the FMA Annual Finance Quiz Bowl. After months of hard work and preparation, it was a very emotional moment when we discovered our school ranked 9th place of the preliminary round and made the top 16 qualifiers list. We were later eliminated in the final rounds, but regardless we were still very proud of the progress our school made in the rankings. Thank you to the staff and faculty that made the FMA-trip possible. We are extremely grateful and honored to have represented Cal State LA."
