After three months of preparation, students met with senior executives at AIG, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Mitsubishi, Pimm Fox of Bloomberg, Stifel and Deutsche Bank. Students also had the opportunity to job shadow influential business leaders at companies such as JP Morgan and Deloitte. An alumni dinner was held Wednesday, October 21st at the University Club.
