Transcript - Ramping Up for Wall Street

When we get enrolled in the MFE program at Cornell, the first thing that we have to do is to come to New York and learn how to network.

We give students the start. All incoming students are assigned a mentor. They pick from among the second year FEs. They're the friendly ear who are there to answer any recruiting-related questions our new students might have.
