Bob Belsterling, instructor in accounting, economics, and finance at Penn State Altoona, took seventeen students on a field trip to Wall Street in mid-October. The students learned about the history of Wall Street, including its scandals, panics, and crashes and also learned about some of its financial moguls. The group visited landmarks that surround Wall Street including the Museum of American Finance, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, and the building that originally housed the U.S. Custom's headquarters.
