Kelley Drye Field Trip
In the Spring Semester of 2019, IEFS members took a trip to Kelley Drye, an international law firm that works to inform and guide companies through legal processes. We had the opportunity to speak with Joe Hoffman, a UMD alumnus and partner at Kelley Drye, and David Fink, cofounder of Finmarc. They provided us with insight on their professional endeavours and offered members advice on academic and career paths.
On March 30th, 2018 IEFS members had the unique opportunity to visit The Carlyle Group, the world's third largest Private Equity firm, for an exclusive Q&A with billionaire co-founder and co-executive chairman, David Rubenstein in his personal suite. David Rubenstein was able to provide members with unique insights into the industry and valuable career advice.
IEFS club members had the special privilege of visiting the Inter-American Development Bank located in Washington DC on March 9th. The IDB is centered around reducing poverty and social inequality in Latin America and the Caribbean by providing financial and technical support. The IDB is currently the leading source of development finance for Latin America and the Caribbean.
Through the International Economics and Finance Society, members were able to visit International Monetary Fund headquarters located in Washington D.C. The International Monetary Fund is an organization of 189 countries, all working together to encourage global financial stability, international trade, monetary cooperation, and economic growth. Club members were able to get a look into how the International Monetary Fund manages its daily operations.
