Julian Harris '11,
2010-2011 Cal Pac Conference Player of the Year

"I have always balanced athletics and academics, and after high school I could not imagine school without basketball. Menlo College provided the perfect opportunity for me to pursue a collegiate basketball career while obtaining a B.S. in Business Management/ Finance. With Menlo being a small school with a large percentage of student athletes, the campus-wide support has been tremendous. Expectations on the court and in the classroom were high, and I couldn't have asked for a better four years!

"Members of the faculty within the Menlo College Finance Department are extremely knowledgeable and always willing to provide additional attention to assist students. With the opportunity to intern for two years, along with the close relationships formed with faculty, I feel that I am very well prepared for a career in finance."

Professor of Finance

"The finance curriculum at Menlo College offers courses in corporate finance, investments, international finance, financial institutions and risk management to prepare students for careers that will be an integral part of economic growth in the global economy. Class sizes are small and professors pay particular attention to individual student learning. I love teaching at Menlo because the community is friendly and 110% focused on student enrichment. The opportunity to know students personally and be able to direct their learning at an individual level permits a level of interaction that benefits all concerned."
