Run an M&A competition in a similar format to stock pitch competition. Not too common, will prob get a lot of student interest, and if your school places well into IB will be easy to get alumni judges/panelists, and potential bank sponsor
great idea thanks. How do I produce the competition? Also for context my school is non target state school. Thanks
Start by first planning jt out fully, don't reach out to alum if it's not ready/good to go with dates. Might be tough if you don't have school alumni. I started a club at a target and it was still tough, you basically need to network/coffee chat, but instead of only selling yourself, you gotta sell your club too (+ maybe ask for money) which is difficult to do
Weekly educationals would be great - they're the biggest point of attraction for clubs at my university. Hosting meetings to give junior students an intro to finance, accounting, valuation, PE, etc. should help you gain a lot of momentum and traction to better host the events the comments before me were talking about.
I'm a freshman. Should I learn these concepts and give presentations on the myself? That and a combination of bringing people in?
i assume you go to a non target, all clubs like this are meant to prep sophomores to recruit so:
do weekly mandatory meetings, quiz your students on a guide each week
create a list of school alums and make sure that they’re aware of this new club so you can start using them as a contact to place more kids into the bank
do panels, where kids with offers or alum in finance talk q+a style
also pick up mentorship, have upperclassmen take on a mentee each recruitment cycle
get connected with bank HR, have them host club exclusive school info session, or resume books
teach the members what ib is truly and sell side process, difference in banks/groups, how to network, how to send emails, what to ask in a call, and how not to be a bot
Yes you are correct in your assumption, non-target here. Thank you for the advice. How do I go about your idea of doing guides? Where do I get the guides from and can you give me insight on how to execute them?
the 6 guides are free online, best to have funding to purchase other versions or the niche ones for real estate, rx, etc.
we have students learn and study one each one and take quizzes at the weekly meetings
