Introducing FWA's Database Management & Data Analysis Summer Interns

The FWA’s Wall Street Exchange Program launched on June 11. The 2024 program includes 57 participants interning at 18 firms and representing 38 different schools. Wall Street Exchange (WSE) augments the summer internship experience of rising college seniors with weekly career development events that help them develop professional and career management skills. During the opening session, interns participated in series of networking breakout sessions designed to facilitate introductions and help them build bonds that will continue throughout the summer program – and their careers.

This graduation season we're celebrating scholars who have benefited from FWA’s impactful programs. This week we're highlighting Vivian Chen, a Baruch College graduate (2019) who received a 2017-2018 FWA-BMO Capital Markets Endowed Scholarship. She started at S&P Global in 2019, working her way to her current position as a Software Solutions - User Experience Designer facilitating institutional participants in private capital markets. Causes she’s passionate about include animal welfare, the environment, human rights, and science & technology.
