Industry Insiders - Careers in Financial Services in New York: Arch Ready Fall 2023

If you have ever heard an historian talk about the range of career outcomes available to History majors, you’ve probably heard the words “Wall Street” and “Fortune 500 Companies.” While most of your professors are well aware that this career path is open to you, very few of us can offer good, practical advice about how exactly you can leverage your History major into a career on Wall Street.

Spotlight on Inclusive Excellence: Bryant K. Barnes

Our September Spotlight on Inclusive Excellence features Ph.D. Candidate Bryant K. Barnes. Barnes has been awarded the Phelps-Stokes Graduate Fellowship for 2023. This fellowship was established in 1911 by the authorization of a monetary gift to the University of Georgia from the Phelps-Stokes Fund. The fund was a bequest from the estate of Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes (1854-1909), a New York City philanthropist. The recipient must make a scientific study of the role of Black or African American individuals in American society.
