Alumni aim to boost Wall Street co-ops
Northeastern alumni with ties to Wall Street are using their connections to build the university’s co-op presence in the nation’s financial center. The newly formed Wall Street Partners Club of New York, led by former Alumni Association president Brian Coventry, BA’88, hopes to add thirty to forty Wall Street co-ops during 2004. Currently, Northeastern sends twenty to twenty-four co-op students to Wall Street each year. About twenty alumni from such organizations as J. P. Morgan, UBS Paine Webber, Estée Lauder, and the New York Stock Exchange now meet monthly with Coventry and Marian Stanley, NU’s vice president for university corporate partnerships, to develop ways of ratcheting up the totals. “Adding a strong number of Wall Street co-ops will be powerful,” says Coventry. “Can you imagine the impact if we land a co-op at the New York Stock Exchange?” |
