Sallie Mae to Ring Nasdaq Stock Market Opening Bell on Monday, Dec. 12


Sallie Mae (Nasdaq: SLM), the nation's saving, planning, and paying for college company, will ring the Nasdaq stock market opening bell on Monday, Dec. 12 to commemorate the company's fifth anniversary of being listed on Nasdaq and its continued commitment to helping millions of families make the dream of higher education a reality.
