After capturing a record-breaking fifth national championship this fall, the Federal Reserve Challenge Team was presented with proclamations from elected officials recognizing their incredible feat. The win, Pace’s fifth in the past eight competitions, makes ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½the winningest program in the history of the Federal Reserve College Challenge, surpassing Harvard.
The proclamations, signed by New York State Assemblymembers Deborah Glick and Yuh-Line Niou, were presented to the team at a special recognition event on Thursday, March 31, in the Bianco Room on the New York City Campus. ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ President Marvin Krislov, Dyson College of Arts and Sciences Dean Tresmaine Grimes, PhD, and Economics Department Chair Joseph Morreale, PhD, delivered congratulatory remarks, as economics department faculty and students and Federal Reserve Challenge Team alumni gathered to celebrate the team’s legacy of success.
For the sixth time since 2014, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½â€™s Economics students have claimed the national title at the College Federal Reserve Challenge—continuing a legacy of excellence built on rigorous preparation, teamwork, and real-world economic analysis.
For Psychology major and Honors College student Marina Alberto ’28, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½is where passion meets purpose. Through hands-on research on child development, meaningful faculty mentorship, and leadership in the Psi Chi club, she’s exploring how children learn, and how ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½helps students grow.
For Master of Public Administration student Rajni Jaiswal ’25, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½has meant opportunity—from internships and research to national conference presentations and faculty mentorship—all fueling her passion for equity, leadership, and inclusive governance.
