WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A new high-tech trading center at Wichita State University is designed to prepare students for careers in the financial, commodities and energy trading markets.

The Wichita Eagle reports that about 75 people attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday for the business school’s Koch Global Trading Center.

Located in a renovated 800-square-foot room, the center features a 60-foot-long digital financial ticker that runs along the ceiling. There also are five flat screen monitors on the walls that display live market data and television channels.

WSU President John Bardo says the center fits with the strategy of preparing graduates to be prepared to immediately enter the workforce.

Koch Industries was the initial donor on the project. Other corporate donors include Allegro Development, a Dallas-based software firm, Cargill Meat Solutions and Murfin Inc.
