14. Sample Words of Wisdom “ Don't be afraid to ask questions! Everyone is there to help, and they'll welcome you with open arms." Stella Milnes “ You are there to learn, they don’t expect you to know everything about the company. You should take advantage and learn from them. When they assign you work to do and when you are finished you shouldn’t just sit there and wait for them to give you work. You should consistently go to them and ask for more work because that proves that you are working and trying to gain experience.” Yen Lau “ [Try to budget yourself.] Just because you’ll have money does not mean you should run out after work to spend it. Resist the temptation to buy those Cartier sunglasses or those True Religion jeans. Window shopping is the best way to budget yourself.” Rebekah Francois “… .be open to [new] things.” Sabine Jean-Jacques

15. More Sample Words of Wisdom “ Don‘t dye your hair strange colors during the internship; wait until it’s over. Ask questions, because messing up can mean you just set yourself back a couple of hours. Get enough sleep, ask for recommendations in the middle of the internship and don’t bite” Karina Galinskaya “ Double check your work and make sure that things are done perfectly. Make sure to smile and try your best. Also, if you don’t understand any instruction, ask again. Most of all-make sure that you enjoy yourself. Good luck!” Nancy Lam

Frank was a graduate of the Academy of Finance here at Dewey, class of 1990. After trying pharmacy, Frank returned to finance and was dedicated to working at Cantor Fitzgerald on that terrible day. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
