Student Mentoring
Fords in Finance partners with the Center for Career and Professional Advising (CCPA) to coordinate events throughout the academic year, such as:
- "Careers in Finance" panel discussions on campus, during which students will hear about the paths of alumni with varied and successful careers, and seek advice for internships and job searches.
- Small group dinners off-campus (nearby) for in-depth conversations and informal mentoring opportunities.
- "Finance 101" where students visit the workplace of an alum to get a deeper look at Finance careers.
If you are interested in participating in any of these opportunities, please contact any member of the Leadership Team or the CCPA.
