UF students will have a chance to meet with a high-level financial executive tonight.
Louis Schioppo, chief financial officer of JPMorgan Chase, will speak at Stuzin Hall at 6 p.m.
He will be joined by Alina Garcia, senior controller of Marriott.
They will be discussing the skills needed for the global market and their involvement with the Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting.
The UF chapter of the association is hosting the event, which is free and open to all UF students.
JPMorgan Chase is one of the largest banking institutions in the United States.
Angelica Valencia, co-president of the association's UF chapter, said she and other group members met both Schioppo and Garcia at the association's last national convention in Orlando.
She said Schioppo probably saw the students' determination because he offered to come to UF.
Rosemary Avila, internal vice president of the UF organization, said the group is trying to give Schioppo a positive impression of UF by asking the Florida Cicerones to give him a tour of the campus.
"I'm super excited," said Avila. "I've actually had a dream about it."
