Wolf Administration Recognizes Pennsylvania Students Participating in National Community Bank Case Study Competition
HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Secretary of Banking and Securities Robin L. Wiessmann today commended students from 12 Pennsylvania colleges and universities who will be competing in the 2018 Conference of State Banking Supervisors (CSBS) Community Bank Case Study Competition.
The Community Bank Case Study Competition is open to undergraduate students in all fields of study as an opportunity to gain valuable first-hand knowledge of the banking industry. This year, each student team will develop an original case study that evaluates how their local community bank is using technology within day-to-day operations.
"As the financial services sector of our economy evolves because of changing consumer demands and technological innovation, the need to engage the rising generation's interest in working in finance has become paramount," said Wiessmann. "Last year, four Pennsylvania schools entered this competition. I am excited to see the large increase of Pennsylvania colleges and universities choosing to compete on a national stage, as well as the number of state-chartered banks participating. We are cheering them on as they compete for this year's prize."
