Griffin Bridges Scholars Immersive Nasdaq HQ Experience
Seton Hall Prep’s Griffin Bridges Program had another extraordinary experience partnering with Nasdaq. Their visit on March 31st capped off the partnership and allowed the students to feel the early morning vibes on the streets of New York City as it comes alive for business and then enter the corporate headquarters of Nasdaq to see what business operations look like from the inside. Students witnessed an opening bell ceremony that celebrated the conclusion of Women's History Month.

Before visiting Nasdaq HQ, students experienced 6 weeks of educational training that provided each student with valuable information for him to assess where he may take his future career. Randall Zuccalmaglio and his colleagues did a wonderful job engaging the students, making sure their interest did not wane during each presentation, and then left them with actionable steps to take, such as developing a professional profile on Linkedin and stressing the importance of starting to build their own network by remaining in contact with each presenter. Students listened to Mariha Gibbs (Head of Strategic Development), Mike Stiller (Fmr. Global Head of ESG Advisory), Anna Ceparano (Senior People Partner), Behailu Teklesadik (CEO, Archetype), Luv Patel (Senior Director) and Gary Offner (Head of Nasdaq Ventures) throughout their visit to Nasdaq HQ.

In summary, the boys received an important education from successful, young professionals who are not much older than themselves. That could not happen in a regular high school setting and have the same impact.
