Alumni Spotlight: Gregory Marks's Experience With Project Firefly

Today's Alumni Spotlight is written by Gregory Marks, Gabelli School of Business class of 2015. Greg graduated from Fordham with a degree in Economics. During his time at Fordham, he participated in Project Firefly, a merit-based initiative that offers talented students and recent graduates the chance to take part in competitions, win awards and get hired for their skills. Here, Greg speaks about his experience participating in Project Firefly's competitions.
 

     "No matter what school you go to, no matter where you are from, the Project Firefly Academic Review Board reviews submissions on pure merit and pure merit alone. Project Firefly has a range of competitions available to Fordham students pursing a Bachelor, Master, MBA or PHD degree.
 

     During my time at Fordham, I was able to leverage time outside of the classroom with Project Firefly to publish written pieces, participate in competitions and debate topics with professionals from Credit Suisse and the Financial Times. Additionally, after a successful participation in the 2014 Emerging Leaders Competition, I spent a week in Hong Kong at the Credit Suisse Asian Investment Conference with Project Firefly where I met global leaders in government, monetary policy, and business. With that said I strongly advise Fordham students to take up the challenge and showcase their talent through Project Firefly's competitions."

 

 

Here are some articles that Greg published through Project Firefly:

1. Crude Move: Portfolio Reallocations and the USDollar (I)
2. Crude Move: Portfolio Reallocations and the USDollar (II)
3. Non-Standard Measures Are Risking Stability
4. Gregory Marks and James Mackintosh discussing the falling oil prices
