FPN’s Three Pillars

FPN has developed a three pillar approach to address the issues facing both UCSD alumni and students.

Alumni Network
UCSD’s increasing presence in the finance world demands the development of an alumni network that will allow alumni to more easily navigate within the industry. Short-term goals include compiling an FPN Directory as well as hosting networking events in major cities across the US; long-term goals include developing a website that will host job openings just for UCSD alumni as well as other useful resources.

Undergraduate/Alumni Mentorships
FPN’s popular mentorship program will continue on through this pillar, which intends to directly increase the number of UCSD students breaking into the industry. Nearly 70 mentorships had been set up as of Summer 2010, with that number quickly increasing during each of our Fall and Spring recruitments.

Undergraduate Development
To prepare UCSD students with the necessary skills to enter this highly competitive industry, FPN will provide undergraduates with professional resources as well as seek partnerships with the Rady School of Management, Career Services Center, other student organizations, and local San Diego businesses.
