2019 - 2021 FMA Magazine

Through collaboration, support,
and initiative of Auburn FMA
alumni and supporters, the
group completed their fourth successful New York Trip.
Fourteen students had the opportunity to interact with elite
employers, expand the university’s professional network,
and participate in the annual FMA International Finance
Leadership Conference.
The annual trip is a definite highlight for the students and
provides an experiential look at day specific targeted career
paths. In addition to the conference events, this year’s trip
included a stop at the New York Stock Exchange where Joe
Dente of Wellington Shields guided students through the
exchange and introduced them to various traders as the
opening bell rang.
After spending the morning in downtown Manhattan,
FMA headed to Midtown where they would meet with
Moelis & Company, and Evercore. Auburn FMA alumnus,
Jordan Carr, once again hosted an informative session
at the Moelis office where they discussed transactions,
the analyst experience and the firm’s recruiting process.
Later that afternoon, the students attended an info session
at Evercore where FMA supporters, Robbins Taylor and
Brett Basik, welcomed the group and with another great
learning/networking experience for the students. This
