We join George Sognon of Accra, Ghana, in celebrating his college graduation, earning a BS degree in Business Administration from Ashesi University College in June 2013.
But not only has George stayed focused on his studies during his college years, he has served in a number of internships, including Internships at two investment banks in Accra: Blackstar Databank and Financial Services Ltd.
He also received the distinction of being chosen from a highly competitive pool of candidates to intern in London at Goldman Sachs International. And he’s already working, landing a job at IC Securities, another local investment bank based in Accra. During his coursework, George focused on corporate finance, investment, accounting, leadership, and business law.
George also hasn’t lost sight of passing his blessings forward. Even with all the responsibilities of finishing his degree, while deepening his study of Christian Science, he’s managed also to serve his community by assisting pineapple farmers in marketing their products and mentoring underprivileged high school graduates to help them access scholarships for college.
