Wall Street Stages Successful Career Night for Chinese Students

NEW YORK CITY, June. It takes both connections and business savvy for a young professional to make it in Wall Street. The highly-successful Wall Street Career Night, held in New York City, provided just that on a silver platter.

Organized by the Chinese-American business leaders group Wall Street Ren (WSR), Career Night provided over 200 Chinese-American graduate students with the opportunity to meet and learn from 30 established Wall Street professionals who served as their mentors for a night.

The 30 WSR member-mentors hold leadership positions in some of the leading firms on Wall Street, including Barclays, Lehman Brothers, UBS .....

During Career Night, WSR members were matched with students based on their particular field of interest. The assigned member-mentors counseled students not only about achieving success in their field, but also about being actively involved in public service and philanthropy.

"Wall Street is rapidly growing and constantly in need of motivated talents," said WSR member David Zhang, Director of UBS. "Through Career Night, students get to learn first-hand about the inner-workings of Wall Street and, perhaps, jump-start their careers in business and finance.”

As a non-profit organization, WSR encourages members who hold leadership positions in top Wall Street firms to volunteer for the mentorship program and share their knowledge, experience and insights into the business with aspiring young professionals.

Established in 2004, WSR is currently the premiere organization of Chinese-American leaders in business and finance in the US. Its roster includes an impressive 162 Directors and 71 Partners/Managing Directors based in Wall Street.
