Student Feedback Amazing, all throughout! Very thankful toCredit Suisse for the program. I walked away with a strong impression thatCredit Suisse is committed to diversity specifically LGBT employees and community. A great way to begin the MBA process. As a career switcher banking is often a closed-door industry, but the program gave a fair amount ofperspective. Very educational. Was very impressed with the amount of exposure I got to high-level people. This was a great opportunity to learn more about Credit Suisse and its distinguishing feature itsculture. Among the banks I will be targeting, this event certainly elevated my awareness of CreditSuisse, painting a very attractive case for the firm. 8. Overall Feedback We received extremely positive feedback from each of the 10 program participants Students were impressed with the exposure to senior leadership and demonstrated commitment to diversity Participants felt that the program solidified their divisions of interest A better understanding of the recruiting process was achieved 9.
