Taking Stock of Success A prestigious internship at Citi in New York City has already launched Abdiel Martinez ’21 into his dream career. When international business major Abdiel Martinez ’22 enrolled in a course taught by business professor Richard Lewin, he wasn’t looking for a mentor—he was looking for a challenge. He found both. “I wanted to take Dr. Lewin’s International Financial Management class because I heard it was one of the toughest courses offered in my major,” says Martinez. “I had a lot of questions that went beyond the class, so I started regularly showing up to his office hours. Dr. Lewin always says that his mission is to make his students ‘dangerously employable.’ When I landed an interview at Citi for a summer internship, I knew I wanted him to help me prepare, and that culminated in a real and ongoing mentorship.”
