As a student-athlete on the lacrosse team, Christopher couldn't take advantage of traditional experiential learning opportunities like the co-op program. Instead, the summer before his sophomore year, he interned with the CIT Group, a middle market bank in New York City, and then, during the following summer, he worked with Mizuho Securities, a Japanese investment bank in Manhattan — who offered him a full-time position after graduation. "Both of these positions were wonderful experiences that allowed me to expand upon my coursework at Saint Joseph’s and helped me prepare for a full-time position,” he says.
