Zheng Completes Fruitful Summer Internship with Synovus

Turner College senior Michael Zheng recently completed a 10-week summer internship with Synovus that he described as both "enriching" and "transformative." As Zheng explained, "I had the opportunity to deepen my understanding of dual risk rating within the credit division. As an active participant on the Dual Risk Rating Team, I achieved significant milestones by successfully completing three pivotal projects for my final capstone presentation. These accomplishments serve as a testament to the remarkable professional growth I underwent during this journey." Zheng especially credits Learning Program Analyst Lead Heather Tharpe, and Early Talent Development Manager Michael Solomon, stating, "I extend my heartfelt gratitude to [them] for recognizing my potential and granting me this invaluable opportunity."

Zheng also expressed appreciation to his manager, Megan Conner, a DRR Credit Analyst, for, as he stated, "invaluable guidance [that] has played a significant role in honing my career path." Zheng is double majoring in marketing and management information systems, with a concentration in business analytics, in CSU's Turner College. He is currently on schedule to graduate in December 2023. "As I step into the final semester of my undergraduate studies, I am eagerly anticipating the chance to apply the wealth of knowledge I've acquired at Synovus," Zheng added. As indicated in the photo above, Zheng was one of several individuals in the Synovus 2023 intern class, with others also having Turner College connections. Congratulations to each of those pictured above for this outstanding accomplishment.
