The Bloomberg Terminal has been called the most powerful machine in business. The terminal has over 50% of the market share among financial data services. The College of Business at Tennessee Technological University has recently acquired approximately 10 of these machines. My vision is to see other Colleges within the University take advantage of this incredible technology by utilizing the terminal in the context of their discipline. My initiative is to hold trainings for different academic groups. For instance, the Bloomberg Terminals have mapping functions that use file formats only used within the GIST community. Bloomberg has a team dedicated to GIST training. The first student group I would like to train is the Graduate Students from our distinguished Water Research Center. Future trainings will at first be based on interest, which has been shown from the Department of Earth Sciences and the Department of Chemistry.</span></span>
