时间: Thursday, July 14, 2016

地点: Fordham Law School, 150 West 62nd Street, New York, NY 10023

华尔街是纽约市曼哈顿区南部从百老汇路延伸到东河的一条大街道的名字,全长仅三分之一英里,宽仅为11米。街道狭窄而短,从百老汇到东河仅有7个街段,却以“美国的金融中心”闻名于世。美国摩根财阀、洛克菲勒石油大王和杜邦财团等开设的银行、保险、航运、铁路等公司的经理处集中于此。著名的纽约证券交易所也在这里,至今仍是几个主要交易所的总部:如纳斯达克、美国证券交易所、纽约期货交易所等。

进入华尔街工作是不少人的梦想,为此旅美科协大纽约分会(CAST-GNY)于2016年7月14日在Fordham Law School举办“How to Break into Wall Street?”讲座。讲座分享了华尔街最新动态,分析了进入华尔街工作的可行性,并促进大家互相交流与学习。
