Morgan State University Partners with T. Rowe Price to Expand Access to Financial Education Resources

University Students and Faculty Receive Unlimited, Free Financial Industry Information through Barron’s in Education Program

Morgan State University, in partnership with T. Rowe Price, has launched a new initiative that will expand financial education resources, increase financial proficiency and provide access to key business news reporting by way of Barron’s in Education – a business school experiential learning program.

Through this collaboration, any Morgan student or faculty member interested in investing or seeking financial industry and/or trend information will have free and unlimited opportunity to gain insights from Barron’s magazine content, industry events, industry experts and experiential learning engagement.

“Morgan’s Graves School of Business is proud to partner with T. Rowe Price on this noteworthy initiative that will further enhance the academic experience and knowledge of our students,” said Ali Emdad, Ph.D., associate dean of the Earl G. Graves School of Business and Management (SBM). “We’re committed to producing highly proficient and marketable business leaders here at Morgan and welcome the added benefit of having full access to certified news and information from a trusted source like Barron’s in Education for our entire campus community.” 

T. Rowe Price and Morgan have cultivated a longstanding relationship that has yielded mutually beneficial returns for both institutions. In addition to the newly introduced Barron’s in Education program, T. Rowe Price actively recruits and spearheads other internal initiatives that have served to build engagement with and strengthen the network of Morgan alumni. From engaging in campus-related activities and providing mentoring opportunities to strengthening relationships with faculty and student organizations and identifying students for career opportunities, T. Rowe has maintained an active presence at the National Treasure.

 “The Barron’s in Education initiative is part of our continued relationship with Morgan State University,” said Raymone Jackson, T. Rowe Price’s global head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. “We are committed to providing opportunities and educational resources for future generations interested in pursuing careers in our industry.”

The Barron’s in Education program partners with academia and engages students to join business leaders, top market professionals, C-level executives, business school faculty and highly successful investors across the Barron’s community.

Morgan students and faculty can activate individual subscriptions and register online for full access to Barron’s digital content.
