In this episode of Bearcats Mean Business, we spotlight co-op through an interview with Preston Simon, a second-year finance and business economics student who’s already built an impressive résumé through hands-on roles in finance.
Preston reflects on his co-op experiences with UBS Financial Services, where he supported client strategy and investment tracking, and RKCA Investment Bank, where he’s sharpening his skills in financial modeling, valuation and deal preparation. Along the way, Preston shares how campus involvement and networking have helped him grow both personally and professionally.
Whether you’re a student exploring co-op or a professional curious about UC’s next generation of business leaders, this episode shows how Lindner’s co-op model launches careers.

Co-ops help students gain the skills, confidence and connections to launch their business careers. Students and employers customize co-op experiences with several options, including full-time, part-time and project-based engagements.
