Guest speakers include professionals and alumni in careers such as stockbrokers, financial planners, bankers, and managers. Professionals assist future graduates in internships and employment opportunities. Recent trips included visits to the New York Stock Exchange, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, World Bank, and a leadership conference. This is achieved through scholarships, reimbursement for professional exams, internships, interview workshops, videotaped mock interviews, professional quality resumes, a resume book, guest speakers, field trips, an Annual Awards for Excellence Luncheon, student awards dinner, and a career library which contains current information on insurance companies, brokerages and other firms.
