A premier student organization at Bauer
Since its inception in 2012, the Investment Banking Scholars Club (IBSC) aims to be the main student organization for students interested in placing into high finance, specifically within investment banks and private equity firms.
IBSC is recognized for its academic events, educational platform, recruiting efforts, and alumni network. We host and compete in various investment banking competitions, conduct weekly educational workshops and professional speaker sessions, and provide networking/recruiting opportunities for job placement.
