The function of Analysts and Associates will be

Investment Board. The analysis and work done is
similar to the work done on the Investment
Project, though on a more in-depth scale with
greater implications. All positions will be for
a semester upon a new semester, you may decide
to apply for a higher position, take on a new
role in a different industry, or opt to stay an

we expect that some Analysts who are chosen will
also sit on the first Investment Board.
