The first-ever CFM course to be offered at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ ended with a portfolio-generation competition. Teams of three first-year CFM students were tasked with coding portfolio-creation applications in the python programming language that were set loose on the market, with final portfolio values determined as of the close on Monday, December 6.

Professor James R. Thompson, co-director of the Computing and Financial Management program and a Professor at ��ݮ��Ƶ’s School of Accounting and Finance, has been elected as a president of the , a Canadian-based association of researchers in the field of finance.

Keshav Chawla has long harboured a passion for computer science and finance. When he discovered a way to pursue both disciplines simultaneously through ��ݮ��Ƶ’s Computing and Financial Management program, his choice of university was clear. “I knew how robust and built-out the program was before coming in,” he explained. “Having that combination of both disciplines was the perfect fit for me.”

The Computing and Financial Management (CFM) program is excited to announce that it will be introducing three new courses as part of its core curriculum as of fall 2021. Students starting in the program in September next year will be the first official cohort to take these classes as part of their degree requirements.

During the month of October, four upper-year students in the Computing and Financial Management (CFM) program hosted a case competition for first-year CFM students. This is the first time that this kind of event has been held to introduce students to case-style problems.

A team of ��ݮ��Ƶ students representing the School of Accounting and Financial, including one student from Computing and Financial Management (CFM), competed Friday, March 6 at the Canadian Regional Finals in the University of North Carolina’s Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC) held at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax. The team took top honours, winning the undergraduate division.

A team of first-year Computing and Financial Management (CFM) students were successful in their weekend-long participation in at the University of Toronto, Scarborough campus, winning the Best Mapping and Travel Hack Award presented by HiRide.

The fifth annual HackHarvard invited students from the and beyond to explore the intersection of technology and society by building projects over the course of the 36-hour hackathon.

The HackHarvard team focused on providing quality and accessibility to people who had never touched a line of code. One third of attendees were non-computer science majors and many were first-time hackers. CFM students Ayman and Ammar were selected to participate in the event showing their prowess in computer science and finance.

The Computing and Financial Management (CFM) program is happy to welcome James Thompson, Associate Professor from the School of Accounting and Finance and  Justin Wan, Professor from the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science.
