Diya Das, Dean of the Gabelli School"The Center for Advanced Financial Education, known as CAFE, is a two-semester credit-based program taught in a Wall Street simulator, equipped with the latest technology and equipment.
For students in CAFE, they gain experiential knowledge of the high-risk world of global investing in preparation for a career in the financial sector. And it’s not a theoretical simulator. The pressure for the students to deliver is real, as hundreds of thousands of dollars in a student-run fund are on the line."
