On December 13, hundreds of NYC high school studen

On December 13, hundreds of NYC high school students, from across the boroughs, descended upon Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business, at Fordham’s Lincoln Center campus. They participated in the SuitUp “Battle of the Boroughs” competition, which focused on building a diverse talent pipeline in the financial services sector by engaging students in an exercise that introduced them to the world of finance. This entailed having them create a product or service that celebrates and builds a sense of community in New York City.

Bronx Borough President, Vanessa Gibson, and Brooklyn Borough President, Antonio Reynoso delivered inspirational remarks.

Educational institutions that competed included: Liberty Partnerships Program, Bronx; Integration Charter Schools, Staten Island; St. Jean Baptiste High School, Manhattan; The Young Women’s Leadership School of Brooklyn and The Brooklyn School for Math and Research; and John Adams High School, Queens.

SuitUp also enlisted corporate partners including: Apollo Global Management, Ares Management, BlackRock, Global Atlantic Financial Group, Goldman Sachs, and Santander Bank, whose executives served as coaches and judges for the contest.

Students from the Liberty Partnerships Program in the Bronx took first place, with glasses that help to translate what others are saying into different languages so that all New Yorkers can understand one another.

The brunch fostered a lively atmosphere of camaraderie, reflecting the strong bonds formed during the Milan trip.
