Nearly 400 students gathered in Goodell Hall on Sept. 10 for Fidelity Day: Meet the Fidelity Team, an employer highlight event hosted by the UMass Amherst Career Development and Professional Connections Hub in collaboration with Fidelity Investments.

Ten Fidelity representatives, including UMass alumni, spoke with students about internship and full-time career paths in technology, operations, client relations and corporate finance. Attendees were able to share resumes, join Fidelity’s talent network, and learn more about the company’s recruiting timeline for the 2026 Summer Internship Program.

In 2024, Fidelity hired over 40 UMass undergraduates across five colleges – making it the third-largest employer of UMass students that year. The company has ranked among the top-10 UMass undergraduate employers each year since 2020.

“Coming to UMass was an amazing experience. I’m an alum, so it really meant a lot to me to come here and pay it forward to the students here,” said Justin Yin ’20, a senior financial analyst at Fidelity. “There is a lot of talent here.”

Students said having an employer come to campus made it easier to connect.

“It’s a great way to get your foot in the door early on,” said Shruthi Kotha, a first-year operations and information management major. Divya Sivaram, a finance major in the Isenberg School of Management, added that it was great to share experiences with the associates at Fidelity.

Fidelity Day is one of many events hosted by the Career Development and Professional Connections Hub to connect students with employers. Upcoming events include Dell Technologies Night on September 16, Big Y Night on October 8, and Inside SharkNinja on October 15.
