In April 2022, our students were thankful to have an opportunity to hear from several executives at Fidelity Investments regarding Diversity in the Workplace. We welcomed to the Bryant campus, Sarah Pulsifer, Head of U.S. Equity and International Product, Nakia Tull, VP, Customer Inclusion Community Leader; and Michelle Vetovis, General Manager, Personal Investments Smithfield Regional Center.

Close to 80 students joined in this important discussion and learned first-hand the importance of diversity within the workplace both from an internal and external perspective.

Women in Finance Summit

November 11, 2021

Eileen Hayes
On Thursday November 11, 2021, we hosted our first Women in Finance Summit for high school students on campus. This program was designed to help expose young females to the finance industry and the exceptional programming we offer here at Bryant at an earlier stage in their academic careers. This summit aimed to bring light to many misconceptions regarding the finance industry that ultimately deter many females from entering such a program. The audience consisted of junior and senior high school students as well as our current undergraduate women students. Close to 100 students attended.

The half day Summit included small panel breakout sessions discussing our main lines of study (investment management, corporate finance, banking and financial planning) followed by a luncheon and Keynote speaker, Eileen Hayes ’07, VP at BlackRock, formerly a VP at Envestnet, Inc. Envestnet Institute on Campus generously sponsored the event.
