Hello! I’m Marcus Villalobos, graduating from UTEP’s Hunt School of Business with a degree in Finance in 2025. I’m curious how the El Paso-Juarez binational market shaped your early career choices. Any advice on breaking into finance from a border-region school? I really appreciate your guidance!

Hi, my name is Ana Sofia Chavez, a Metallurgical and Materials Engineering student at UTEP, graduating 2026.

Who will see my question?
