He says that hands-on investment experience stands out during interviews. "Anytime a candidate is able to step into an interview with real-life experiences they are at an advantage," says McCallion. "And work- ing as part of a real-money investment fund provides practical application to help prepare students for a job in financial services. "Our function as controllers at Goldman Sachs requires that we have a strong understanding of the businesses we support," McCallion adds. "Ben and Adrian were able to leverage their experience gained through the Terese Kelly Investment Group to have intelligent conversations about capi- tal markets. The opportunity that Terese Kelly has provided to business students is outstanding." (Read more about McCallion in an Alumni Close-Up, page 19.) Experience in the Terese Kelly Investment Group has paid off for others, too. Recent graduates who were group members have garnered roles at top firms and organizations, including PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, Bloomberg, Citi and National Fuel. As the value of the group's portfolio con- tinues to grow, so does the support of UB alumna Terese Kelly '68, MLS '73, whose lead gift enabled the fund to begin in 2011. In 2013, Kelly provided another generous gift to furnish the group's room in the Jacobs Management Center with new boardroom- style furniture. In addition, the room now houses the school's first Bloomberg Terminal thanks to a gift from the estate of Anita Ranney Thomas '38. x —Kevin Manne Photos: Robert Adam Mayer
