Imagine
starting
senior
year
with
a
job
already
lined
up
waiting
for
you.
Lauryn
Cook
'22
knows
the
feeling.
The
international
business
and
finance
double
major
has
a
full-time
position
waiting
for
her
with
JPMorgan
Chase
&
Co.
"My
dream
has
always
been
to
work
at
a
top
national
firm,"
said
the
Canton,
Ohio,
resident.
"I
had
this
dream,
but
I
wasn't
sure
how
to
make
it
possible.
BW
helped
make
my
dream
a
reality.
"Last
summer,
I
was
a
corporate
and
investment
banking
markets
analyst
with
JPMorgan
Chase
&
Co.
in
New
York
City.
I
rotated
through
all
the
equity
sectors.
It
was
an
experience
of
a
lifetime.
At
the
conclusion
of
the
three-month
internship,
they
offered
me
a
full-time
position.
I
was
ecstatic,"
she
said.
Faculty
Focused
on
Goals
"All
of
the
amazing
support
I
received
from
peers,
faculty
and
staff
helped
me
throughout
my
internship
search
process.
My
first-year
advisor,
Dr.
Lori
Radulovich,
worked
with
me
to
meet
every
goal
I
have
for
college.
First,
she
helped
me
tackle
being
a
double
major
and
minor
and
still
graduate
on
time.
Then
she
helped
me
tackle
studying
abroad
in
London
for
a
whole
year.
No
matter
what
experience
I
want
at
BW,
my
advisor
sits
down
and
figures
out
a
way
that
I
can
have
it,"
she
emphasized.
"I
have
been
involved
in
a
multitude
of
activities
and
leadership
roles
at
BW,
including
being
president,
vice
president
and
lead
analyst
of
the
Investment
Club.
The
knowledge
I
gained
helped
me
thrive
at
JPMorgan
Chase.
We
are
managing
a
real-world
portfolio
valued
at
over
three-quarters
of
a
million
dollars,"
she
noted.
"BW
was
the
school
that
surprised
me,"
she
admitted.
"When
I
was
applying,
I
was
only
doing
it
to
please
my
parents,
who
both
graduated
from
BW.
It
wasn't
a
school
I
was
even
considering.
I
had
wanted
a
big
school
far
from
home
where
no
one
knew
me.
"I
was
on
the
accepted
students
overnight,
and
I
fell
in
love
with
the
faculty
I
met
with
and
with
the
student
volunteers
I
hung
out
with.
BW
just
felt
like
an
open
community
and
campus
that
would
accept
all
of
me
and
help
me
grow
into
the
person
I
am
supposed
to
be,"
she
said
with
appreciation.
