Investment Banking as an International Graduate Student

Hello, I'm a graduate student in Los Angeles, pursuing an MFin. I'm looking for summer internships that are CPT eligible and am having the hardest time finding any opportunities and people to connect with for coffee chats. Does anyone have any advice for figuring the process out. Any help will be greatly appreciated
