In early February, over 70 students from nine universities attended the Scholars of Finance Tri-State Summit at Princeton University. This event was hosted and planned by the Princeton chapter of Scholars of Finance, a national nonprofit organization with a mission to inspire character and integrity in the finance leaders of tomorrow. This inaugural summit provided students interested in finance with the opportunity to learn from and network with top finance experts and corporate social responsibility professionals.

Jamila Abston Mayfield, Founder of The Jamila Mayfield Group and Former EY Partner, delivered an inspiring keynote address. The day also included moderated fireside chats with Ryan Cullen (Blackstone), Ali Akbar (Greenhill), Jeff Wasserstein (Greenhill), and Ruoxi Chen (Warburg Pincus). At the end of the summit, everyone gathered for the final panel with Amrit Agrawal (Co-Founder and CIO at Piper Sandler), Helene Glotzer (Chief of Compliance at Bridgewater), and Joel Foote (Senior MD at Guggenheim).

Congratulations to the Scholars of Finance Princeton chapter for executing this exceptional event.

The Summit was sponsored by Princeton’s Bendheim Center for Finance, Griswold Center for Economic Policy Studies, Julis Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy & Finance, Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering, Andlinger Center for Energy & Environment, Center on Contemporary China, and USG Projects Board.
