With the spring term in full flow, this marks the last semester for many of our dedicated seniors in the organization. We want to take the chance to recognize one senior member each week who has demonstrated true commitment and professionalism within the club. This week, we would like to take a moment to thank Jack Divine for his exceptional attitude, passion, and mentorship during his time on campus. Jack joined the club in the fall of 2022 and has been one of the most familiar faces at meetings. He shows up with a smile each week and always brings thoughtful questions for our speakers. Whenever the organization needs someone to assist with interviews or conduct coffee chats with prospects, he’s the first to volunteer. When asked what makes the organization unique, Jack said, “Miami’s Banking Club exemplifies a collective mindset centered on winning, competing, and building meaningful relationships. Throughout my time at Miami, I can confidently say I have never met a more driven group of individuals. Every member of this club not only understands what it takes to be a leader but also values the importance of genuine values and friendships. The members of Miami’s Banking Club are the kind of people who will excel in their careers and push their peers to do the same, all while doing it the right way. They hold themselves to an extraordinary standard, and that’s what makes the club so special”. After graduation, Jack will be joining Fifth Third Bank in their Commercial Leadership Program in Cincinnati. We wish him the best of luck with the rest of the semester and in his future endeavors. #finance #banking #fifththird #miamiuniversity #loveandhonor
