On Friday, January 26th, Fordham IPED students participated in a Finance focused career trip in Manhattan, New York. They first met with Mario Carias, CFA, Managing Director of Content and Member Services at CFA Society New York. He spoke about his experience on Wall Street and in the financial sector. He also shared advice on the three part exam process required to become a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).
Later in the morning, we walked to Bank of America to meet with alumnus Joe Quinlan ’84, Managing Director and Chief Market Strategist, U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management. He shared about how he has applied his IPED education in his work with international trade, foreign direct investment, and global economic trends. He offered advice and emphatically recommended continuous learning and reading strong authors.
