During the meeting, attendees first gathered to listen to an insightful Fed Challenge presentation delivered by five students who elaborated on their recommendations for the Federal Reserve’s upcoming strategy. This was followed by a dynamic Q&A, where participants actively discussed and probed the students’ ideas. Additionally, the meeting marked the initiation of our mentorship program, as mentors introduced themselves to their respective mentees. Subsequently, participants grouped up and initiated high-level introductory discussions to set the stage for their mentorship journey.
