For the past number of years, Dominicans on Wall Street, in conjunction with other professional organizations and friends have participated in Career Day at Gregorio Luperón High School. The goal of this visit is to encourage students to see the value of an education in pursuing their dreams.

On May 26th 2010, close to 20 professionals visited the school and met with students where rich conversations were held and successful mentoring assignments were given.

The professionals shared experiences and points of view in topics these young students are not yet exposed to in their day-to-day lives and provided suggestions on how to get ahead and start preparing in order to enter their respective professional lives.

The students received feedback from a broad scope of professional profiles of the finance industry. Among them were financial analysts, financial advisors, treasurers, traders, CFOs, investment bankers and leaders in their respective field. All of them came from different places and had different backgrounds, however, one thing held common; they were all Dominicans or Dominican-Americans.

The common topics were:

· Academic backgrounds (where the professionals grew up; what was their major)

· Career path

· The importance of a good education and a college degree.
