Visit to the Offices of Berman McAleer
The students had another amazing visit to the offices of Berman McAleer (BMc) today. This is an event that the students look forward to every year. It starts with a welcome and then a lunch shared with members of the staff where informal conversation is held. This was followed by a session where the students asked questions about finance and the work of BMc. The students then met in small groups with the staff to learn about staff members individual roles in the company. Lastly, two one-on-one sessions followed where students were paired with a BMc staff so students could share about their own lives, education and career plans to get feedback, advice and support.
Berman McAleer is a wealth management firm that has been in relationship with our school for several years. They develop and staff monthly financial literacy seminars for the students. BMc also established, with the Middendorf Foundation, an endowment fund for the school and manage it for us..
We are very thankful for this special and valued relationship and all that it adds to our students’ education. We appreciate the founders David Berman and Joe McAleer and all of the partners who prioritize this work, the staff for sharing their expertise and wisdom with the students and Ms. Kathleen Gower for leading and shepherding the seminars and this relationship.
