劳有所获，心有所向

Alonso Alfredo Arbulu Arenas在西东大学努力学习，三年半后，他的努力得到了回报。毕业前几个月，他在德勤咨询公司找到了一份梦寐以求的工作。

从秘鲁回来后，Alonso渴望充分利用西东大学提供的丰富机会，在探索自己全部兴趣时获得了巨大的成功。通过充分利用他的教师和职业顾问的人脉关系，他获得了四个有竞争力的实习机会：华盛顿国防大学、秘鲁中央储备银行、全球会计师事务所安永（Ernst and Young）和纽约市的一家对冲基金。有一次实习是他的教授帮他牵线搭桥的结果——“他看到了我对信贷研究的兴趣，就把我带到了这家公司。”

大二的时候，Alonso第一次来到纽约，与常春藤盟校的学生一起参加全球案例研究比赛。”在主办方做介绍时，我花了一点时间往窗外看，我看到了自由女神像。就在那时……我意识到，作为一名大二学生，我能够实现我的梦想！”

Alonso对金融非常着迷，他参加了一个由学生主导的投资俱乐部，在那里他管理着超过15万美元的金融投资组合。他被选为校内足球队队长和美国拉丁美洲专业人士协会主席，曾担任学生运动员导师。他还积极参与社区服务活动，如为食品储藏室和玩具驱动器的事务做服务。

通过和西东大学有紧密联系的校友社区，Alonso获得了正式和非正式的辅导机会。”我可以去纽约市参观不同的总部，召开咖啡会议，参观所有部门，参观交易大厅——所有这些只需给西东大学校友发邮件即可实现。”

Alonso从西东大学毕业，个人丰富的经验为他的简历增色不少，他准备开始新的冒险。”我在大学得到的每一个机会，从核心课程到社交网络，再到实习机会，再到职业博览会和职业中心，每一个机会都帮助我成为了今天的自己。我相信，没有大学里一些人的帮助，这些事情都是不可能实现的。”

What Great Minds Can Do: Alonso Alfredo Arbulu Arenas

Alonso Alfredo Arbulu Arenas worked hard at Seton Hall, and after three and a half years, his effort paid off. Months before graduation, he had a dream job waiting for him at Deloitte Consulting.

After arriving from Peru, eager to dive into the wealth of opportunities Seton Hall offers, Alonso enjoyed great success while exploring his full range of interests. By fully utilizing his faculty and career counselor relationships, he obtained four competitive internships: at National Defense University in Washington, D.C.; the Central Reserve Bank of Peru; the global accounting firm Ernst and Young, and a hedge fund in New York City. One internship came as the result of a connection his professor made for him — "he saw my interest in credit research and was able to put me in front of this company."

During his sophomore year, Alonso made his first trip to New York City for a global case study competition alongside students from Ivy League universities. "While presenting, I took a moment to look out the window, and I saw the Statue of Liberty. That's when it hit. … I realized that as a sophomore I was able to accomplish my dreams!"

Fascinated by finance, Alonso participated in a student-led investment club, where he managed a financial portfolio of more than $150,000. He was elected captain of the intramural soccer team and president of the Association of Latino Professionals for America, and he worked as a student-athlete tutor. He was also heavily involved with community service initiatives such as food pantries and toy drives.

Through Seton Hall's tight-knit alumni community, Alonso had both formal and informal mentorship opportunities. "I was able to go to New York City to visit different headquarters, have coffee meetings, see entire departments and visit trading floors — all from just emailing Seton Hall alumni."

Alonso leaves Seton Hall with an impressive resume and broad experiences, ready to take on new adventures. "Every single opportunity I have been given at the University, from the core classes to the networking opportunities to internship opportunities to career fairs and the Career Center, each one of those pieces individually has helped me become who I am today. I believe that without the help of the people that I've encountered at the University, none of these things would have been possible."
