BCFA is currently accepting applications for the technical director position. Sophomores are preferred while Juniors are welcomed as well. The technical director position requires the student to actively manage all online communication with other BCFA members. The student will be specifically responsible for the website, twitter, email, and other forms of media. In addition, the technical director will also assist on other events of the academy whenever possible. Once accepted, the student will shadow Kelvin for a few months to learn HTML and other languages to manage the website. Thus, prior HTML knowledge is not a necessity. The most important thing is to have an eager and resilient mind that is willing to solve difficult problems when necessary.
The answers do not have to be long. Concise is better.

BCFA will be hosting "Speed Networking" this Wednesday at 5:00 in the Fulton Honors Library, in which 10-15 seniors will be available for sophomores and juniors, in particular, who are interested in pursuing finance-related internships. The students will meet with each senior for about five minutes rotations, in which they can ask for networking advice, have their resume critiqued, practice interview questions, or simply learn more about each area of finance. Seniors from a variety of finance-related backgrounds, including investment banking, sales & trading, capital markets, private wealth management, and asset management will be available for networking. We encourage you attend if you have any questions at all about the process.
