VVI is dedicated to professional and personal development. Every new member obtains a host of informal mentors through our executive board members, sector heads, and committee heads. Additionally, members are paired with a dedicated formal mentor during their first semester and a successful upperclassman recruiting mentor going into sophomore year.

New members embark on a semester-long education with our VPs of Education. The education consists of a final capstone pitch project, teach-ins, presentations from other upperclassmen, and weekly classes. Members receive hands-on training on accounting, investing fundamentals, capital markets, financial modeling, valuation, and macro-economic analysis.

Finance bootcamp is an optional rigorous year-long program for members recruiting for investment banking, equity research, and buy-side roles. Our VPs of Professional Development teach advanced financial concepts, train networking skills, and provide extensive interview preparation prior to recruitment. Members join a collaborative cohort where mutual success is expected and people celebrate each other’s wins.

We work at some of the world’s most respected companies spanning across investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, equity research, management consulting, computer science, engineering, law, medicine, and more. Our alumni often provide feedback and assistance to current members recruiting for these roles. View select firms below.
