Notice    New!

25 June 2007

Hello Finsoc members!

Firstly, thank you for all the support to make 2006-07 a truly memorable and succesful year for Finsoc.

In the past year we have ran the internship information evening, promoted a number of investment banking and trading competitions and ran the JP Morgan investment banking competition. We hope you have increased your financial knowledge, formed links with industry and had some fun through these events.

As we look forward to continuing to serve the student community into next year, we invite you to attend the 2007 AGM to be held at Monday 2nd July 6pm @ the Quad lawns.

If you are interested in being part of the executive team, please attach a resume and send an email detailing the position and a little bit about yourself (including year, stream) and why you would be great at the job. A reminder that for senior positions you will need previous experience in senior leadership roles in a society.

Thank you,
The Finsoc Team
