Read what students at Michigan are saying about Banking at Michigan’s vision and mission:
“I am excited to be joining Banking at Michigan because the board seems truly focused on aiding students in their quests to discover a career path and excel in the banking recruiting process. The friendly atmosphere in the mass meeting was unique for a Ross club and it is clear that the board wants this environment to encourage members to enjoy the club's opportunities and take full advantage of the ample resources it provides. After talking with the board members after the mass meeting, I understood why they chose banking and how the resources they provide can be the difference between me acing a super day or going home empty.”
“I really appreciate what this club stands for and the vision that you have for Banking at Michigan. It is a tremendous opportunity and opens many previously closed doors for those looking to break into the industry.”
“I find that the openness and acceptance of Banking at Michigan has drawn me to this organization more than any other on campus. I really haven't seen any other club so willing and eager to help out inexperienced members and students of all backgrounds and disciplines.”
“I personally want to thank everyone at BAM for creating an initiative that really teaches students how to navigate the path towards a career in Investment Banking. It can definitely become very confusing, and the fact that upperclassmen are offering their time to create resources for others, in addition to being available during office hours, DESPITE busy schedules, is extremely admirable.”
“Keep up the great work and creating that inviting and friendly atmosphere. It really helped as a freshman that the mass meeting was not as intimidating as other mass meetings, and it really makes Banking at Michigan feel like a club I want to join to learn, have fun, and make friends, rather than other clubs where I may be more compelled to join for prestige or networking.”
“Really love the initiative you all are taking. There's hardly any opportunities to learn in-depth about investment banking given the high competition for clubs in Ross. I feel like most, if not all, the applicants to these clubs are intelligent and qualified enough be in them, yet they don't get in and are eventually left with little resources to learn more about finance, consulting, etc. The fact that BAM gives open resources and holds town-hall events is great. Looking forward to more BAM events in the future.”
“I really loved how you guys were so eager to share all your resources to everyone regardless of their participation in the club and I find that extremely heartwarming. Although my resume activities are extremely spread out with my intention to explore, I am confident that this club can guide me with resources for a career in banking whether I can get the analyst position or not. Thank you so much for what you do!”
“I am very impressed by the availability of so many resources on the Banking at Michigan website. Given that the club is still so young, I cannot imagine how far this club will go in the upcoming years. The presentation was very informative and every member was super approachable for questions too.”
“This club seems like it is predicated on giving beginners somewhere to start. I really admire that, as a beginner, because not many clubs are this hospitable.”
“Having an analyst position is a great way to allow students who haven't had much exposure to investment banking to learn about what it is really like.”
