About Anthony
Hometown - Houston, TX
Major - Accounting and Finance
College - Bauer
High School - Cypress Ridge
Organizations - Bauer Honors, Toastmasters
Anthony Vu is a senior double majoring in accounting and finance in the Bauer Business Honors Program. He is passionate about the intersection of business and community engagement – devoting his Tuesdays to tutoring the local inner-city youth in standardized testing as well as providing them mentorship through all areas of life. His service emphasizes his belief that environmental factors do not limit success, and that success is non-discriminative. He has been exposed to bureaucratic systems in which collaboration is key – whether it be through his accounting internship at a multi-cultural Singaporean company, or through his cohort of Ted Bauer Undergraduate Scholars. He believes that professional development nullifies traditional cultural boundaries, and this is reflected through him being the youngest member of his Toastmasters organization – a campground of diversity united with one common goal: professional development. Anthony will intern at JP Morgan Chase this summer and hopes to use the knowledge that he will learn to eventually lead community engagement activities at the Fortune 500 level. These community engagements events will be education centric as he believes that education is directly correlated with a higher quality of life, and that these activities will disrupt the traditional obstacles of financially challenged youth in attaining higher education.
Why am I running?
The University of Houston is conveniently located in one of the state’s, if not the nation’s, most thriving business districts. The opportunities are endless, and I will do anything to empower my fellow students to capitalize on these opportunities. I want to make the University of Houston an exemplary model of the city’s rich history and bright future.
