Career Connections, Executive Education
High Point University took Marco Sebastian, ‘18, to New York City to begin his career — literally.
During the HPU in the City fall and spring break programs, students travel to metropolitan areas such as New York City and Washington, D.C., for a week of career exploration. At each stop, HPU’s alumni and parent network provides career connections and behind-the-scenes experiences at major companies such as Bloomberg, Google and the United Nations.
During fall break of his sophomore year, Sebastian joined the HPU in the City trip to New York. That’s where he met executives at Bloomberg. He was inspired by the company’s phenomenal success and decided to pursue a career there. After he graduated in 2018, he joined Bloomberg in New York as a Global Data Analyst.
Today, he’s grown into a new position as a hedge funds account manager. See more of his story!
