2012 Internship Spotlight

"My experience as a summer 2012 intern was extremely valuable for shaping my career trajectory.

As a second year MBA student at Mills College, I had an interest in finance and I was committed to putting my business education to work for a triple bottom line organization; however, I had not yet determined which industry I wanted to enter after graduation. I was new to banking and benefitted greatly from the structured introduction to banking curriculum.

As the summer Impact Analysis Associate, I was able to apply the strategic and analytical skills gained in MBA coursework to draft a plan to help the bank strengthen its impact measurement and further its mission to perform against all three bottom lines. At the end of the summer I had gained valuable experience and decided to pursue a career in impact-driven financial services."
