CFS student Mike Luo (right) with his supervisor at
Merrill Lynch.
The internship was the first time I was doing something
in education where I wasn't just learning. I was helping
to... make things happen. It showed me how Chicago really
works. And it opened up a career path I hadn't thought
about.... That was fantastic.
