On Thursday, I decided to visit the finance club in hopes of acquiring a better understanding of how this club can essentially prepare an individual for what they intend to major in. Accompanied with the fact that it could propel you to an internship or pave way towards something greater and outside academics in general ; so I was more so interested in what that experience would be like.

In this meeting, I came to find out that the club consists of a Mentorship program and an Analyst program which primarily focuses on financial analysis and investment banking to achieve a clear understanding in finance. They hold various events ranging from annual case competitions, resume reviews,mock interviews, to various tours and site visit weekly workshops. All these events which help students develop their skills intuitively and becomes a gate way towards career readiness and overall growth.

The assignments that they discussed in the meeting were said to be due every single thursday, so I believe the club shouldn’t affect a persons performance in every other class they take and they also stated a newsletter was to be read every sunday night. The workshops that each member must attend to occurs every tuesday and each member is required to attend a total of 6 workshops.

The application for these programs the club is offering is open to freshman and sophomore students. It is a ten week program to give a solid foundation in finance through assignments and projects. They stated that members are paired with graduated professionals who have already achieved success in their fields. The analyst program is a semester long program where a key concept known as investment banking will be discussed and looked into deeply to focus primarily on topics involving M&A financial modeling,  company valuation,  deal research, and Industry discussions.
