Jacob Citiroglu
Student Research Assistant
University of Michigan-Flint
Major: Economics
From: Long Island, NY
Interests: I want to explore whether banking products — such as loans, credit lines, mortgages, and investment instruments — act as drivers of sustainable economic growth and social mobility, or whether they instead concentrate wealth and reinforce inequality.
Expected graduation: June 2027
“I’m passionate about creating opportunities that help communities grow sustainably and equitably. I believe economic development is the bridge between innovation, entrepreneurship, and social mobility.”
