    What is college really like, and how did it lead to the job you have now? Join Girls Write Now for a College Chat with professionals from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, who will share how they chose a school, picked a major (or changed one), and made the leap from campus to a first job in banking. They’ll also talk about the roles, skills, and pathways that lead to careers in financial services.Mentees, come hear firsthand stories, ask the questions an admissions brochure can’t answer, and get advice as you think about your own college experience and what comes next. Employees, your path was not a straight line, and that’s the point. Telling a mentee how you got from college to career gives her a map she didn’t have before. Whether you’re planning your first year or looking back on yours, this event is for you!
