In Gerlach Hall’s sparkling new classrooms, one of two recently completed buildings of the Fisher College of Business complex, donors and supporters of the college witnessed a sample of the technological capabilities of the new building Wednesday.The stock market classroom was showcased through an interactive program featuring a video conference. The participants were able to make a stock trade on the Nasdaq market in New York City. The trades were based on the recommendations of a handful of MBA students present for the ceremony.The students, part of a stock market class, suggested the stocks of Cambridge Technology Partners and Intel Corp. OSU donors and alumni Leslie Wexner, chairman of The Limited Inc. and Max M. Fisher, Detroit industrialist, offered advice about which stock to buy. Wexner chose Cambridge, while Fisher chose Intel.After taking a vote of the audience, the Cambridge stock was chosen.Using money donated by the audience – $5,000 from Wexner and $1 from each audience member – they were able to buy 60 shares of Cambridge’s stock. Alfred Berkeley, president of Nasdaq, and Norman Pessin, principal at Neuberger & Berman, facilitated the trade.The event, which was part of the dedication of Gerlach and Fisher Halls, also included short video profiles of Fisher and John B. “Bernie” Gerlach. Gerlach, who was a supporter of OSU and founding chairman of the Fisher College of Business, died in January 1997.”The program was emotional,” said Ohio State President William “Brit” Kirwan. “This is such an extraordinary facility. It shows the kind of support the university has from its friends and alumni.”Kirwan is not the only one excited about the new facilities. The donors to the complex invested in more than stocks.”As an MBA student, it is very exciting to see the Fisher school take its rightful place in the top tier of business schools not only here, but internationally as well,” said Nick Griffin, a second-year MBA student. “The stock on our MBA has just gone up greatly.”
