I'm Daniel Long and I'm currently a certified financial planner at a financial planning firm called Mendham Capital Management. FDU helped launch my career in a few ways. I utilized the Career Development Office and worked with their staff to identify open internships within the community. I ended up gaining a valuable internship in 2015, which is where my current employer is.
Every incoming student should know that the university is deeply committed in providing quality education, connecting with students on what matters most of them, and leveraging connections within the community to transition into work that aligns with students' interests and goals.
I connected with someone within the Alumni Relations Board last year for general networking along with involvement in an FDU. This led me to attending various alumni events last year, where I was ultimately asked to be on the FDU Alumni Board of Governors. I was just nominated for this position and I'm thrilled to work with fellow board members to enhance the alumni experience and elevate FDU's profile. At FDU, I seized the moment and it changed my world.
