Marina Keegan
Marina Keegan, a recent Yale University graduate who died in a tragic car accident Saturday, was very active at Yale University.
Keegan was a passenger in a vehicle driven by boyfriend Michael Gocksch when it crashed on route 6 in Dennis, Mass. Gocksch is listed in stable condition at a hospital.
Keegan, a member of the college democrats, helped start Occupy Morgan Stanley, a protest group that challenged campus recruiting, The New York Times reports.
The group gathered outside an information session held by Morgan Stanley and reportedly chanted slogans like “Take a stance, don’t go into finance.”
Keegan wrote a column for The New York Time’s The Deal Book asking fellow college students to seriously reconsider a career in finance at Wall Street companies.
“Maybe I’m overly optimistic, but I think most young, ambitious people want to have a positive impact on the world. Whether it’s through art or activism or advances in science, almost every student I spoke to had some kind of larger, altruistic goal in life,” she wrote.
“But what I heard again and again was that working at JPMorgan or Bain or Morgan Stanley was the best way to prepare oneself for a future doing public good,” she continued. “Why do students believe this? Because the recruiters tell them it’s true. Personally, I think it’s ridiculous. Those skills can be gained elsewhere.”
