<p>They must be doing something right when students start to complain when they go to job fair that there are so many jobs and on-campus interviews for banking and consulting that they would like to see more things outside of those fields.</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.dartmouth.edu/~csrc/pdfs/fair_guide.pdf[/url]”>http://www.dartmouth.edu/~csrc/pdfs/fair_guide.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Write up from the employer fair:</p>

<p>Taylor Cornwall '06 made the last-minute decision to “go corporate,” eventually with Mercer consulting firm. This year, he returned to Dartmouth to recruit for his company. It was a big step for the history major that spent his junior summer teaching in China.</p>

<p>Economics major Kelsey Wiegmann '06, who also revisited her alma mater on behalf of her new employer, always thought she would do something in finance. She just didn’t have a definite direction. “It was basically through the career fair that I learned what banking was about,” she said.</p>

<p>Three interview rounds later, Wiegmann was one of 11 Dartmouth students in Deutsche Banks’s incoming financial analyst group of 150.</p>

<p>Some seniors have already signed with companies. Alisha Levine '07 interned at consulting firm Bain & Company during her junior summer and accepted an offer at the end of the internship.</p>

<p>Levine reflected that her strong belief in the power of liberal arts led her to major in Chinese despite its apparent contrast with her new career.</p>

<p>** debating whether Dartmouth recognition and success translates to real-world recognition and success should look to the Barrett Cup winner for all-around achievement by a man in his graduating class, Pete Sokol-Hessner '04. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience at NYU, Sokol-Hessner was recently featured in a New Yorker article on the emerging field of neuroeconomics. **</p>

<p>Private equity Associate Michael Newton '04 echoed Doughty’s assessment. Despite working with graduates from numerous top-tier schools, Newton said he consistently finds Dartmouth students to be fast learners, high-level performers and, perhaps most notably, well-rounded individuals who aren’t as “crazy-competitive” as other graduates.</p>

<p>After graduating, **Newton worked at a private equity firm with three Dartmouth-connected team members, including one who insisted that the firm recruit at the College. **</p>
