Leaders in the Making

Alex Shakibnia '10

Employer: Credit Suisse "Coming from a large campus, I really enjoyed the small class size and personal engagement by administration, faculty and alumni. Activities outside the classroom made for an all-inclusive experience that went well beyond learning finance. For me and my classmates, the Master's program in Finance was a great experience."
