The Purple Knights of St. Augustine High School
in New Orleans visited LSU and the Ourso College
of Business Administration at on October 30, 2003,
a day dubbed Purple and Gold Day. During their
visit, the students were treated to a tour of
the Ourso College's stock trading simulator, the
SMART Lab.
Tish O'Connor, finance analyst and assistant
director of SMART Lab, guided the students through
SMART Lab's stock market software. Students were
able to locate a company on the stock market,
find the up-to-the-minute price of that company's
stock, and perform a mock purchase. Additionally,
students were introduced to some basics about
stock purchasing, including how performance of
a stock is measured and how dividends are paid
to shareholders.
After the SMART Lab presentation, the St. Augustine
students proceeded to Turead Hall, where Rob Hines,
assistant dean in the Ourso College, and other
Ourso College faculty and staff previewed the
programs the Ourso College offers to its students.
The day ended with a tour of the LSU football
facilities.
