Summer In New York

Hi Everybody,

My name is Alex Kohn and I am a going into my junior year at Ross. I'm from Boca Raton Florida, and am going to be living in New York City for the summer. Starting June 8, I am going to be working at an Investment Bank called Thomas Weisel Partners, where I will be doing Equity Reserach. The research I will be doing will be mostly focused in Hardlines, and my internship is going to entail writing reports on specific companies of interest.

I'm really excited to start my internship, as I see it as an opportunity to become more familiar with Finance, and to apply what I have learned thus far at Ross. Also, I have always loved visiting Manhattan whenever possible, and I can't wait to learn more about what the city has to offer.

As for the internship, I expect to be challenged and inundated with work everyday of the week. I am a little nervous about initial couple weeks of the internship because I have little experience in Finance. I expect for there to be a period of confusion before I learn the in's and out's of what I will be doing at Weisel. All in all, I am looking forward to learning a lot, meeting new people, and finding out if Finance is where I want to focus my energy in school for my future career.
