During the 2012-2013 academic year, the Cutler Center executed some major technology upgrades
resulting in a new look to the Cutler Center Horn for 2013 and the future. We upgraded our stock ticker
display and added two NEC plasma monitors (65” and 55”) from Rise Display to greatly enhance our
financial data visuals and digital signage displays. Under Ryan Davies’ and Jack Cahill’s guidance, the
Cutler Center studied what competitive college investment labs were using for enhanced visual displays
and worked with a vendor to redesign our environment to better promote ourselves to the Babson
community and to prospective students.
The new monitors are linked to a workspace where we can create original branded presentations with
current security prices, news, and web-sourced data. Our screen displays now show such items as:
1. updated fixed income, commodity markets, and global equity markets news, data, and charts;
2. schedule of upcoming finance events on campus; and
3. schedule of upcoming Bloomberg Fridays seminars presented by Cutler Center assistants.
