<<< Most corporations send one
or two representatives to recruit MHC students for their firms, but
investment banking giant Goldman Sachs sent twenty to CDC
presentations last week. It was part of their effort to attract more
women's college graduates to the company.
Campus recruiting visits by prestigious corporations' representatives are nothing new to MHC, but Goldman Sachs's recent full-court press to attract MHC students' interest in their firm was unprecedented. On Thursday, the investment banking firm brought a twenty-person delegation to campus, including MHC alumnae Robin Neustein '75 (a GS partner) and one of their newest hires, Simisola Sanni '97.
In addition to doing a general presentation on their company, GS representatives also met with students from Fred McGinness's Leadership and the Liberal Arts course and from Jens Christiansen's course in corporate finance. After making a presentation to that group, GS reps and students discussed a sixty-five-page case study on an actual public stock offering by a company conducted by Goldman. The exercise provided students with direct exposure to the analytical steps investment banking requires. Before the class meeting, GS treated all interested students to dinner at Willits-Hallowell.
According to Candy Schuller, director of recruiting and employer relations for the Career Development Center, Goldman Sachs employs a significant number of women's college graduates, and our alumnae at Goldman have encouraged them to target women's colleges as a potential source of more good hires.
