Bloomberg combines innovative technology with analytic, data, news, display and distribution capabilities, to deliver critical information via the Bloomberg Professional service and multimedia platforms. Bloomberg’s media properties span television, radio, digital, and print making up one of the world’s largest news organizations with more than 2,300 news and multimedia professionals at 146 bureaus in 72 countries.
Being Bloomberg-literate enriches the skills and resumes of business graduates. The Sauder Bloomberg terminal is currently located in Room CLC 222.
