Summer Analysts are integral members of the Investment Office team. Over the course of the summer, they meet professionals from across the industry and assist on projects that influence investment and operational decisions.

“I started the summer analyst program without much financial experience and was very grateful for the training offered throughout the summer. The Investment Office provides an excellent vantage point to orient oneself to asset classes, managers, and their investment strategies. While working on key portfolio-related projects, the team is always there to answer questions and support professional development.”
