What's in it
A bank of professional market-data terminals, dual-monitor workstations running the standard financial-modelling and analytics software, and a ticker display — the environment finance students are expected to be fluent in before an internship, practised on assignments instead of learned cold on day one.
Who uses it
Scheduled finance and investments sections during class time; the student-managed fund team and the case-competition teams book it heavily around deadlines; open hours the rest of the time for anyone in a relevant course.
In and around Porter Falls
Curriculum decisions at Porter run through the departments that meet in Founders Hall and the Applied Arts Building, then to Faculty Senate, then to the Provost in Millwright Hall. The pace is deliberately slow and the review calendar is published.
The practical details
Location: Commerce Hall, Room 120. Access: Finance and economics course sections; open hours otherwise. Data: Professional market-data terminals plus the analytics tools the courses require. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Office of the Provost (Millwright Hall, Room 300). Call (715) 555–0130 or email provost@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
