Making Connections

If you’ve ever wondered whether the alums reading the magazine ever reach out to other alums, I have firsthand proof that they do. The Fall 2017 issue of the Rensselaer alumni magazine featured a photo of my ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. About a week after it arrived in the mail, I received a note from an executive at a larger investment firm whose wife noticed the photo and asked if we knew each other. There are not a lot of us whose careers have taken us into the investment world and a previous search on LinkedIn failed to identify this person. So, kudos to the magazine for this very important connection.
