Meet the elite

Over the course of four days, undergraduate and graduate students meet with executives (some who are Robinson alumni) from an array of leading global financial insurance, and consulting firms. Students also tour the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Put your best foot forward

Panthers on Wall Street cohorts are trained in the functional skills New York firms seek. Each student regularly attends lectures by subject matter experts. Examples of lectures include: the Legal and Ethical Environment of Business, “Wall Street Speak” (what it’s like to work on Wall Street), Fundamentals of Finance, Banking, Alternative Investments and Deal Analysis. Students participate in team building exercises, get specific guidance on resume building, develop their online brand, and practice their meeting etiquette by visiting Atlanta-based financial institutions. They are required to earn Bloomberg certification and complete a Microsoft Excel course as well.

Build a stepping stone

About 20-25 percent of students who have made the trip are working for leading firms in New York City. Panthers on Wall Street also has helped many students secure full-time jobs or internships with companies in Atlanta such as JPMorgan Chase & Co., EY, Deloitte, KPMG, Google, PricewaterhouseCoopers, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Wells Fargo and more.
