Economics and Business Students Take on New York City
Posted on December 4, 2015 by College Communications in Student Spotlight.
Fifteen members of Gordon’s Economic and Business Organization (EBO) recently travelled to New York City to network for two days with Gordon alumni in the fields of business, finance and economics—and do a little exploring. Emily David ’16 (who double majors in business administration and recreation, sport and wellness) writes about the experience.
The trusty blue La Vida bus, driven by Chan Yoon ’17, carried us through the 500-plus miles of our whirlwind New York City tour. The EBO’s bi-annual networking trip gives students an opportunity to connect with Gordon alumni who have established themselves in business, finance and economic careers in the Big Apple. Our four days were full of valuable opportunities for everyone in our group—from first-year students to seniors. Younger students gained memorable first-time professional interactions, while older students were able to network with alumni for potential career recommendations or connections. During the course of the trip we met with six alumni either at their workplace or over lunch. “The EBO trip to New York City was such a unique opportunity that gave me so much insight into how to make connections and the importance of doing so outside of the Gordon community.” –Kara Dry ’18 Our first stop: Bloomberg Business. We were given a tour by recent Gordon graduate Ashlin Mathews ’08 (economics), and were greeted by one of the top managers of the organization. In our meeting with Ashlin, who is a financial applications developer, were able to ask practical and personal questions about his career patterns and transition. “The NYC networking trip provided me insight into opportunities in the finance world that I would never have gotten in the classroom.” –Andrew Huang ’19Categories
