Welcome to Lancer Finance Society!
We are a student-led organization based at Pasadena City College, dedicated to making finance opportunities more practical, accessible, and career-focused for California Community College students.
Founded in 2026, Lancer Finance Society was started because we realized there was a lack of representation and great demand for Community College students looking for opportunities that can bridge to finance roles such as Investment Banking, Sales & Trading, Private Equity, and more, after transferring from Pasadena City College
If you’re a driven PCC student interested in finance, this is where you turn ambition into real experience.
