Tom Toomey '95 majored in history and found his niche on Wall Street. He's made it possible for A&S | Maxwell students to explore careers in finance through the annual Stocks and Finance immersion trip. Students and advising staff spend three days in New York City each fall, visiting the New York Stock Exchange and firms in the financial sector—and sometimes meet media celebrities, like Jim Cramer, host of CNBC's Mad Money.
