Students work in teams to research and analyze a publicly traded company \u2014 sometimes even meeting face-to-face with company management. Each team writes a research report on their assigned company with a buy, sell or hold recommendation and may be asked to present and defend their analysis to a panel of industry professionals.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Nicholls has advanced to the regionals four times in the last seven years, including a trip to nationals in 2015.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This year\u2019s Nicholls team was sponsored and advised by Dr. John Lajaunie, professor of finance, and Dr. Shari Lawrence, professor of finance.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWhat I tell my students is that I will match them up against anyone and everyone, and they will win,\u201d Dr. Lajaunie said. \u201cWe\u2019re one of the smallest public universities that participate in this competition, but we\u2019re also one of the most successful.
