Miami University's Patrick Hill Spends Week on Wall Street

2012 Jan 31

Patrick Hill of La Grange (60525) recently spent a week in New York City's financial district with Miami University's Farmer School of Business. Hill, a Junior finance & economics major was one of 24 students selected to participate in Wall Street Week, an immersion trip hosted by Miami's Farmer School of Business in conjunction with the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Students learned about global finance through visits and lectures at institutions such as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the New York Stock Exchange and the trading floor at JP Morgan and other banks.

In addition, students heard from experts, many of them Miami graduates, on equities trading, hedge fund and portfolio management, asset allocation and customer relationship management.

Students were selected for the competitive program based on GPA, courses completed and faculty recommendations.

Wall Street Week is held every January, and many Farmer School students are recruited to work at top financial management and investment banking firms because of their participation in the program.
