She noted that an important aspect to the program is its diveristy. We try to have as many ethnic backgrounds represented as possible. We're not just a homogenous group. The benefits to the students are numerous. They get a leg up on the competition, says Scott Shiffman, Director of Corporate Bond Research at Chase Asset Management who served as a mentor this summer.
Students get a real world perspective from someone in the trenches.
Student Vinneet Pahuja, a junior at New York University, agrees. You get first hand information from people who do this kind of work on a daily basis, he said.
