Three 海角乱伦专区 students have been chosen to participate in the Goldman Sachs Market Madness: HBCU Possibilities Program.
The global investment banking, securities and investment management firm launched year three of the program this semester as a cornerstone of its $25 million, five-year commitment to Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
The three students will participate in an immersive semester-long crash course in key financial concepts.
Feria Nji (sophomore, computer science major): “The Goldman Sachs Market Madness: HBCU Possibilities Program, to me, is an opportunity to learn financial concepts from industry experts themselves and gain invaluable insight into the culture at Goldman Sachs. Through this program, I also hope to get a better understanding of what a career in the financial industry looks like and grow my network which could in turn help me land a job/internship in the industry.”
Hailey Butler (sophomore, finance major): “To be accepted for a program from such an esteemed firm is an honor! My passion is to work in the finance industry and everyday I’m getting closer to that! I’m grateful and proud that I get to further my knowledge and represent my HBCU, especially for Caribbean Students. I plan to successfully graduate with a BBA in Finance in 2025, become an investment banker and one day make an impact in the financial services industry in The Bahamas.”
Mmesoma Ezeudu (sophomore, computer science major/finance minor): "As part of the Goldman Sachs Market Madness: HBCU Possibilities Program, I have the opportunity to develop professionally through mentoring sessions, teamwork projects, and networking events. Over the next few years, I hope to become a software engineer and use this experience to break into finance while working on my own start-up company."
The experience will be enriched through mentorship, networking, and a $10,000 financial stipend for successfully completing the program. Additionally, these students will be assigned to teams to compete in a case study competition on 海角乱伦专区’s behalf for a chance to win an institutional grant up to $1 million.
海角乱伦专区 is one of 12 HBCUs selected to participate in this program.
