McDonnell International Scholars Academy student Yu Sun Chung, a doctoral student in psychology in Arts & Sciences and a native of South Korea, looks out over the New York Stock Exchange from the visitors’ gallery as the opening bell rings March 10. The McDonnell Scholars were in New York March 7-10 to experience firsthand American business and government. While at the stock exchange, the scholars had breakfast and a discussion with Steve Wheeler, director of corporate giving and educational services for the NYSE. During their trip, students also met with Ban Ki-Moon, secretary general of the United Nations; Michael Bloomberg, mayor of New York City; Richard Kimball Jr., managing director of Goldman Sachs; and Richard Haas, president, and Irina Faskianos, vice president, of the Council on Foreign Relations.
