Texas Southern University Students see new Possibilities through Goldman Sachs Program
|
Posted By: S. Moore on March 03, 2023 Three Texas Southern University 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 TSU’s behalf for a chance to win an institutional grant up to $1 million. TSU is one of 12 HBCUs selected to participate in this program. SOURCE TSU Newsletter If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
