Professional Development Series
This series is designed to teach MFE students internship search skills and techniques that they will use to secure an internship. These same skills and techniques will transfer to full-time job search approaches as students graduate and alumni.

Networking
A critical component to your long-term career success (and growth) is to make new connections, build new relationships, and add to your professional network. Each year we host MFE networking events to allow current students to meet finance-industry employers, hiring managers, and alumni. Throughout the academic terms, we invite industry professionals, hiring managers, and alumni to join us as Guest Speakers and to share their insights with the class.
