Stanford Finance is a student-run organization at Stanford University. Our mission is to facilitate the entry and success of Stanford students in the finance industry via education, preparation, and the building of a global professional network. The finance industry requires know-how, experience, and connections. Each year, through a rigorous interview process, Stanford Finance accepts a dedicated group of students into its Analyst Program. The program is made up of four core components: • A workshop series educates the Analysts, prepares them for job applications and interviews, and teaches them the technical skills they will need once they land jobs. • Networking events enable the Analysts to form professional connections with visiting financial institutions, including bulge-bracket and premier boutique banks. These events also help our analysts find mentors and secure internships, often before traditional, on-campus recruiting begins. • A mentorship program connects each Analyst with a Stanford Finance Officer who will provide private training and advice, and a finance professional, often a Stanford Finance alum, who has been working in the industry for at least several years. • Access to the Alumni Database is vital. Stanford Finance graduates have gone on to lead successful careers. Once a student has been selected to be an analyst, he or she will have access to the alumni database and will gain lifelong membership in the Stanford Finance community.
