Thiel College students attend NYC recruiting event

Eleven Thiel College students traveled to New York City’s Times Square for the third annual Selective Corporate Internship Program Business Partnership Summit & Career Expo. The event offered access to recruiters and panelists from top American corporations, including Thomson Reuters, JP Morgan Chase, BNY Mellon, Cognizant, EY and Bank of America.

The event was hosted by Thiel College alumnus Miguel Mancebo ’77 and his wife, Monica, co-founders of the Selective Corporate Internship Program (SCIP). The internship program is a charitable organization dedicated to providing America’s top firms with a diverse pool of talent and opening doors for high achieving students from colleges and universities across the Northeast.

This year marked the first time the event took place in the offices of Thomson Reuters’ New York headquarters. Located at 3 Times Square, the location treated students to 30th-floor views of the surrounding towers and streets.

Associate Dean of Career Development Martin Black said the trip would not have been possible without the support of the Dean of Academic Affairs, the Department of Business Administration & Accounting and the Office of Student Life.
