Campus to Career with RTSWS
RTSWS continues to connect university students with opportunities to deepen their financial knowledge, explore career paths and build relationships with industry professionals. Recent events at Wellesley College, Smith College along with virtual events with Clemson University and the University of South Carolina are helping students connect classroom learning with real-world opportunities in finance.
At Wellesley College's Dispelling Myths about Finance roundtable, industry professionals shared candid reflections on exploring career opportunities, navigating professional transitions and learning from challenges. Their experiences highlighted the many paths into finance, from an interest in statistics to helping clients and pursuing unexpected opportunities abroad.
At Smith College, students participated in an interactive workshop exploring the differences between buy-side and sell-side finance. Through discussions, quizzes and group exercises, students gained a better understanding of the financial industry and the career opportunities available in each area.
One student shared that she particularly enjoyed the quiz and in-class exercises, as they helped reinforce overall concepts. Through these campus events, RTSWS helps students build foundational knowledge, connect with professionals and discover that there is no single path to a career in finance.
