Alumni Spotlight
Zachary Mullally '21
Portfolio management associate, Cobblestone Capital Advisors
"The dedication from the professors was unmatched. The financial planning program specifically incorporated invaluable knowledge and experience from practicing professionals. Seeing how the textbook material applied to actual clients/scenarios in the real world allowed me to better conceptualize topics and understand their true value outside of the classroom. The investments and estate planning courses were some of the most beneficial to what I do today. The professors set the bar high and provided us with numerous opportunities to apply our knowledge as we progressed through each lesson. They made it clear that they were dedicated to seeing their students succeed. As a result, I was able to pass my CFP庐 and Series 65 exams, which are integral to my role in wealth management."
