Alaina Smith of Vandalia, OH will visit the heart of the New York City financial district during the University's fall break from Oct. 8-11 to meet with major financial institutions and professionals.

Alaina will visit JP Morgan Chase & Co., The New York Stock Exchange, The Hired Guns, BlackRock, Venture for America, Ecofin, The New York Federal Reserve Bank, Sullivan Papain Block McGrath & Cannavo P.C., and The Global Association of Risk Professionals.

At each institution, Alaina will meet with professionals to hear their perspectives on typical jobs and responsibilities for new college graduates, a career path overview, and advice on the kinds of economics and finance classes most helpful for work in the field.

Alaina will also have the opportunity to network with University of Dayton alumni in New York at an event during the trip.
