"The IFA was critical in my professional development at Anderson. Without the IFA, I never would have had the opportunities to network with so many accomplished and helpful finance professionals, which led to a successful internship pursuit. Furthermore, the opportunity to be a leader in the organization during my second year allowed me to help shape the future of the club and mentor the next class of Anderson finance career seekers"
