A note from Josh:

I am a junior at Hope College pursuing a public accounting degree. This past summer, I took the opportunity to engage in an unpaid internship at Ameriprise Financial, to broaden my perspective of the financial markets and its correlation to accounting. I believe this experience gave me a glimpse of the business world, and only enhanced my desire to intern at a public accounting firm this coming summer, where I can apply my skill sets. My expectations relative to the Baker Scholar program are tailored to test my strength of character, understand and improve my leadership skills, and develop my relational skills imperative to effective communication. The enhancement of these qualities will hopefully facilitate a transformation into a competent businessman well equipped to one day assume a leadership role.
