Develop an entrepreneur’s mindset!

Through the Ciocca Center’s Entrepreneurship & Innovation Program, students can connect with entrepreneurs and alumni mentors, attend site visits, compete in pitch competitions for cash prizes, and even build a business of their own.

The Global E&I workshop during fall break is a great place to start as it offers students the chance to dive deep into entrepreneurship, complex problem solving, and human-centered design methodologies. All are welcome!

From Gregorian Chant to the trading floor, Julian Beban ‘26 is redefining what a finance candidate looks like.

Aa a mathematics major, Julian leveraged his liberal arts education to stand out in sales & trading interviews by connecting pattern recognition in music with analytical rigor in markets. Through the Ciocca Center and the finance & banking certificate, he identified his path and targeted trading with intention.

With experience, Julian turned curiosity, connection, and intellectual range into a true market edge. In finance, it’s not just what you know, but how differently you think. Read more about Julian on our blog. Link in bio! 🔗

Meet Mary Kate Murphy ‘26: An environmental studies major, business ethics minor, and a business fundamentals certificate recipient.

As a sustainability intern at Lindt & Sprüngli last summer, Mary Kate applied classroom concepts to make real-world impact while working on carbon calculations and product footprinting. She credits Ciocca workshops for giving her the technical foundation and confidence to contribute immediately in a professional setting.

Beyond the technical work, Mary Kate highlights the power of connection - building relationships across the company and seeing how sustainability work comes to life through collaboration.

What you do AFTER a networking conversation is what people remember. A thoughtful follow-up can turn a quick introduction into a real connection.

Remember to follow up within 24–48 hours, mention something specific you talked about, and keep it short and genuine.

A strong follow-up is what sets you apart!
