Jimmy Weng

Last semester Jimmy Weng was on Co-op in Hong Kong where he worked for Morgan Stanley. This was the first time Northeastern has ever had a student on Co-op in Hong Kong! Being on international Co-op gave Jimmy the chance to learn and gain experience both on the job and by immersing himself in the culture. From excursions, to festivals, to shopping and eating experiences, Jimmy was certainly able to get the most out of his Co-op and time in Hong Kong. Click here to read more about Jimmy's experience.
