Valley Bank of Nevada Helps UNLV Finance Students With Internship Opportunities

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lee Business School Finance Department at UNLV is hosting a virtual commercial banking "Speed Dating" internship event on March 3, 2021, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. The event format will enable all intern applicants to interview with each bank offering an internship this summer. The internships will be paid and qualify for three school credits.

Valley Bank of Nevada is one of the banks participating in this event. Other banks include Bank of George, Credit One, Meadows, Nevada State, Toyota Financial Savings, and Western Alliance Bancorporation. Additional institutions may also be added. 

This is the third year that Valley Bank has participated. The students will be interviewed by Roger Mellies and Paul Dreschler, both of whom are SVP/Commercial Loan Officers at Valley Bank of Nevada, and each have over 30 years of banking experience. 

These internships will be an excellent way for students to gain practical experience and introduce themselves to potential employers. All of the participating banks have expressed their intent to use the internships to identify future full-time employees. 

The intern event is part of the Lee Business School Finance Department Commercial Banking Program.
