Kelsey Throckmorton, Class of 2011, was among the group of 18 students who planned a trip to New York City and Europe. Trips such as these provide opportunities for Networks Scholars to experience different cultures and international financial services industries, as well as explore professional opportunities.
"These experiences have developed my professional skills beyond what they would have been without the additional personal attention and coaching support," she said. "I have received this valuable experience and have developed long-lasting friendships throughout the program."
She stressed that prospective students should take advantage of the development opportunities the program provides, whether through conferences, seminars or other events that students create, plan and execute.Throckmorton also said that the program leaders believe in her abilities, and constantly challenge her with activities that push her out of her comfort zone "time and time again."
