Executive Sponsor Spotlight
Courtney Dean
Vice President of Investor Relations, Canyon Partners
At RTSWS, we’re proud to feature reflections from Executive Sponsors who are helping expand access to careers in finance by investing in students and serving as mentors.
Courtney Dean, Vice President of Investor Relations at Canyon Partners, shared the following about her experience supporting RTSWS programming in Dallas:
“For the Canyon Partners team, sponsoring the Rock the Street, Wall Street program in Dallas over the past several years has been a deeply meaningful experience, underscoring our strong commitment to education and our culture as a collaborative, ‘learning’ organization. RTSWS also advances the firm’s mission to raise awareness of careers in finance, broaden the talent pipeline, and create more opportunity throughout the investment industry.
On a personal level, engaging closely with these young women and their teachers and watching our second cohort of students graduate this year young women we’ve been mentoring since the 10th grade, has been incredibly rewarding for me. RTSWS continues to inspire us, and the next generation of talent in finance. Canyon is proud to play a role in that transformation.”
We thank Courtney and the Canyon Partners team for their continued support and for helping our students see what’s possible in finance.

RTSWS Students Selected for 2025
AREX & Highline Capital Investment Bootcamp
Six RTSWS students and alumnae were selected to participate in the AREX & Highline Capital Management 2025 Investment Bootcamp, a competitive program designed to introduce students to advanced investing concepts and real-world finance career paths.
This opportunity reflects the impact of RTSWS programming in preparing students to navigate and succeed in high-level finance environments.
Here’s what one of the participants had to say about the experience:
“It was an incredible experience to learn from these industry leaders and my peers in the program! This program highlighted just how wide the finance industry is and I had the privilege of being exposed to many careers I hadn’t otherwise known.
This experience undoubtedly will serve as a strong foundation of my path into finance and I’m sincerely appreciative to RTSWS for this opportunity. Thank you very much.”
— Emily P.
We’re grateful to AREX Capital Management and Highline Capital Management for creating access to this real world experience and to all our sponsors and supporters for helping make these types of opportunities possible.
