Alumni

A network that compounds

Members of the Class of 2027 placed at leading firms on the Street, including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Guggenheim, Lazard, and Wells Fargo. As those members graduate into full-time roles, they form the alumni network that mentors each new cohort.

Alumni directory coming. As the first cohorts graduate, this section will list alumni, their firms, and class photos, so alumni can see the current members coming up behind them.
