<p> “The Excellence in Banking program has an exceptional curriculum that helped me seamlessly start my career in banking. Obtaining the credit essentials certificate was my favorite part of the program, it provided me with ample knowledge that I was able to use in real time through my internship. My time as an intern at City National Bank was unforgettable. Being able to work for a community bank helped get me involved in the community and build connections with other banking professionals.”</p>

<p> “The Excellence in Banking Program at Angelo State University allowed me to acquire specialized skills in credit & lending analysis that prepared me to be career-ready right after graduation. I gained invaluable knowledge and even more respect for the principles that Sonora Bank embraces. I loved my time with Sonora Bank so much, I had the privilege of transitioning from an intern to a full-time position as a Credit Underwriter in Boerne, TX. I am proud to be a Ram!”</p>
