A hallmark of the Pelissier Scholars experience, the week-long trip to Wall Street has enabled UK students to experience financial markets in the United States firsthand. Professional money managers, investment bankers, fund managers, security dealers, consultants, and other practitioners who are a part of the financial community hosted company visits and made presentations. Students develop a better understanding of how financial markets and institutions operate, gain a greater appreciation for the contributions to the ecosystem of the markets and firms, and enjoy valuable networking opportunities. Most Pelissier Scholars obtain highly competitive finance jobs in leading firms and develop strong connections with other UK alumni.
Thanks to Mrs. Marguerite Pelissier's generous support, a maximum of 18 students will each receive up to $1,800 to participate in the visit during October 27-31 Fall break . A team leader, who will receive an additional $200, will be selected to lead the team and coordinate with the faculty members on the meetings and trip logistics.
