My entire life, I was set on becoming a veterinarian. I was even accepted into a great program for it; at the same time, I was also accepted into the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF). However, when it came time to make my decision, I immediately knew that the Sustainability and Financial Management program (SFM) was where I would truly find happiness. Every day, I am still amazed by how incredible this decision has been, and I would not change it for anything.Ìý
Outside of how I can pursue a career that significantly impacts the world, there are countless reasons why I chose this program. One of the things that stood out to me was how valuable I felt when interacting with the staff. During the open house, I was really impressed by how attentive everyone was to prospective students like me. Their genuine kindness reassured me that their support w²¹²õ²Ô’t just for show, it was truly part of their character. The professors at SAF also go above and beyond to learn your name and ensure that you are excelling.ÌýÌý
A significant reason why the staff and faculty at SAF care so much about your education is their awareness of the incredible job opportunities available to us through the co-op program. I know I would not have been as successful without the exceptional skill setÌýwe develop through this combination of classroom learning and hands-on work experience.ÌýÌý
When I first visited, I enjoyed the architecture on the UÀ¶Ý®ÊÓƵ campus much more than other universities and could imagine myself admiring it each day as I walked to class. Now as a current student, it is an incredible feeling to do this while knowing that I am surrounded by people that I can so easily become friends with and reach out to. I »å¾±»å²Ô’t feel this sense of belonging anywhere else, but at SAF.Ìý
