Baruch College/FEI Quarterly Outlook Survey Shows Optimism in Global Economy Has Dropped Among U.S./Europe CFOs
Amid lingering concerns over the inflation rate, Chief Financial Officers' overall confidence in the global economy declined at the start of the second half of the year, according to the most recent survey of CFOs conducted by Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business and Financial Executives International (FEI). The quarterly "CFO Outlook Survey" polls CFOs of public and private businesses in the U.S. and Europe (Italy and France) on their economic and business confidence and expectations. More info on this quarter's survey, including results and a podcast between John Elliott, Dean of Baruch's Zicklin School of Business and Terrence Martell, Zicklin's Saxe Professor of Finance can be found here.
Baruch NABA Chapter Takes First Place in Student Case Study Competition
Baruch's National Association of Black Accountants Inc (NABA) student chapter won first place in the NABA/KPMG LLP National Student Case Study Competition, which was held during NABA's Annual National Convention in Orlando, FL this June. This year's team included five accounting majors: Abubakar Ahmed, Latisha Bempong, Tishel Collins, Angie Hildalgo and Keyeshia Joseph. This is the second win for the student chapter at Baruch within the past three years.
The student case study competition is a national competition where students thoroughly research, develop and prepare a presentation that addresses accounting and business related topics. Fifty students from colleges and universities from across the country participated in 2011.

Restrictions on Use of the Harvard Business Review
Baruch College faculty are advised that special restrictions regarding the use of the Harvard Business Review for course reserves have been put in place. The license agreement for the College's digital version of the Harvard Business Review in EBSCOhost does not permit article-level linking from the database to course reserves, as the agreement does for all other publications in the database. This is a restriction imposed by the Harvard Business Review. As a result, the library cannot place articles from this journal on e-reserve. Faculty who assign articles from the Harvard Business Review in their courses may direct students to search for the article directly in the EBSCOhost database Business Source Complete. If you have any questions please contact the library's access services department.
