this summer and continues to stay in touch with the extensive Pingry network. He enjoyed the Pingry on Wall Street networking event on September 18 and writes, “The event is a superior platform for connecting those members of the community who work in financial services. The capability to hold such events with strong alumni— and even student turnout—really speaks to the culture of commitment and honor that Pingry instills in its students. When I first began searching for summer internship opportunities in college, I reached out to several parents and alumni to express interest in the industry, which yielded an internship with a hedge fund during my sophomore summer. The Pingry on Wall Street event will undoubtedly continue to strengthen this network and provide opportunities for students to engage in careers in finance.”
