@ NCU students, you know firsthand from professors like Neely Tamminga & Mark Skeba how valuable hands-on learning is. If you're looking for more ways to engage this summer, check out Roundpeg's summer internship!

Hello everyone! For this summer I was lucky enough to receive an internship through the UNH ECenter (Peter T. Paul Entrepreneurship Center), working with the start-up company Account Tree located in Dover, NH. Account Tree is a SaaS service that provides an array of services that simplify the accounting process at both the school and district level, while supplying students with the necessary functionalities needed to promote financial literacy. I’ve come to learn A TON in only my first week, with a few surprises snuck in-between. Here are some highlights from my first couple days on the job: Monday: I received an updated demo of the product and got my first experience playing around and becoming familiar with the software. Tuesday: Today was spent reading the entirety of the Student Activity Fund Handbook for the State of New Hampshire. Later on, I hopped into a demo with Kevin and discovered a bug in the account assignment process. Wednesday: The team wanted me to become familiar with all upcoming BRDs, so I went through a handful and added my input where I had ideas. We bounced these ideas off one-another and if they were viable or not. Preparing for the trade show to come the next day, we got stuck in the office elevator for 30 minutes! Fun experience to end the day. Thursday: Trade show day! The team went to the ASBO conference in Portland, ME. Here we made many connections, and the day was a huge success. Friday: This was a big debugging day. I wanted to try and break our new Withdrawal build to find any new errors and report them back to the Dev team. For any errors I found, I wrote a detailed plan to fix them partnered with examples and individual instructions. I couldn’t be happier with this opportunity or feel more valued within this group. Excited to see not only my growth, but the growth of the company as a whole during the time of my internship.

My internship at M&T Bank in the Controller’s Department has come to a close. I’ve grateful for the opportunities that I had to learn, make connections, and add value to an organization that does so much to develop Western New York! On the technical side, I learned a lot about the preparation and modeling of data that is used to prepare schedules included within financial and regulatory disclosure. On the organizational side, I was able to observe the experienced leaders within the Controller’s Department and how they coordinate the mammoth task of reporting for a public bank holding company with >$200B in assets during the quarter close. Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to wax poetic, so I’ll distill my less technical learnings down to 3 key takeaways: 1.      Don’t be afraid to ask questions. In my own experience leading teams, the last thing I would want is for one of my people to feel lost. I’m happy to say that the supervisors and mentors that I’ve had over the past few months were enthusiastic about making sure that I had the tools and knowledge to complete tasks. Whenever I felt unsure, I asked, and got a response! This resulted in a deeper understanding of my work, and what I was trying to accomplish. 2.      Always be prepared to explain your work. When it comes to something as meticulous as financial/regulatory reporting, backing up your work is key. Not only does this ensure the all-important accuracy of information being reported to the public/regulators, but I can attest that it helped me develop my understanding of what data is captured, where it comes from, and where it goes. Absolutely invaluable experience for anyone interested in any area of the banking sector. 3.      Solid communication is what distinguishes good teams from great ones. One of the first things that I noticed was the frequent, timely, and concise communication during the close of the quarter. The documents which we were preparing to be filed with the SEC/federal regulators contain a complex array of information. Everyone knew what they were supposed to be doing, and where their teammates were in the process. This kind of communication served to keep everyone on track. Big thanks again to M&T Bank for the opportunity to learn more about the world of financial/regulatory reporting in banking! Maybe we’ll cross paths again after my time at the UB School of Management. 😉 #banking #internship #grateful

As a parent, there are moments that fill your heart with pride and a touch of nostalgia. Today, I experienced one of those moments when I saw my son Jake Childers pop up on my LinkedIn feed, celebrating their internship Blue Trust. Watching them grow, learn, and now step into the professional world is incredibly rewarding. It feels like just yesterday they were taking their first steps, and now they’re making strides in their career. This journey has been filled with countless lessons, both for them and for me. Here are a few reflections: 1.    Embrace Change: Seeing your child transition from the classroom to the workplace is a reminder that change is constant and growth is inevitable. Embrace it with open arms. 2.    Celebrate Small Wins: Every accomplishment, no matter how small, is a step forward. Celebrate these moments to build confidence and momentum. 3.    Mentorship Matters: Encourage them to seek mentors and also be one yourself. Sharing experiences and insights can make a significant difference in their journey. 4.    Stay Curious: The world is evolving rapidly. Encourage them to stay curious and keep learning, adapting to new challenges and opportunities. 5.    Support and Trust: As they embark on their career path, your support and trust in their abilities mean the world to them. Be their biggest cheerleader. To all the parents out there witnessing similar milestones, let’s cherish these moments and continue to guide our children as they make their mark in the world. And to Jake Childers, I couldn’t be prouder of you. Here’s to many more achievements and learning experiences ahead! 🌟 #ProudParent #NextGeneration #InternshipJourney #ProfessionalGrowth #Milestones
