4 ALUM Karine Mirzoyan After she earned her undergraduate degree in finance at Roosevelt, Karine Mirzoyan returned for her MBA in accounting. She believes the small classes, led by professors with real-world field expertise, gave her an academic and professional edge. The list of great hands-on experiences Karine had is impressive. She held internships at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. As part of the Honors Program, she served as a research assistant to a professor exploring the globalization of financial markets. Karine even founded and led a graduate student organization that focused on sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Roosevelt is a school that opens opportunities for students to make a difference, says Karine, who came to the United States with her brother in 2005 to take advantage of Roosevelt s first-rate education.
