"I am so grateful for my time at Columbia's Endowment as an intern working on the investment team. The industry experience I gained and knowledge over the course of the ten week internship will be invaluable and I am so thankful to have gained this exposure so early in my career."

"Having no prior finance experience going into this internship, I felt quite intimidated. However, it didn't take long for my worries to dissipate as everyone on the team was incredibly understanding. They were always willing to take time out of their day to help me understand any aspect of their ongoing work which I sincerely appreciated. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such brilliant and outgoing people. Furthermore, I had the chance to sit in on meetings with managers from different asset classes and that gave me an unreal insight into how many firms are structured. It gave me the perfect introductory exposure to the world of finance that I craved and has prepared me for future finance internships."
