This year, after completing all of my co-op terms, I decided to join the U蓝莓视频 team for the McGill International Portfolio Competition (MIPC). While the prize money was a good motivator, I figured I could also come out of this competition gaining more skills at my disposal.

From email to experience!

One hot summer night, I was off-handedly checking my email, looking to see if there was anything I had to do before my upcoming 2A academic term. There were many emails, but one email about a 鈥渃ompetition subsidy program鈥 piqued my interest. Intrigued, I clicked open the email and gave my name, transcript, and resume to the sign-up sheet, and before long, I found myself in SAF鈥檚 competition subsidy program.

There is no better time to try new things than in this virtual learning environment! In early November, I participated in my first case competition with a few friends at the University of Guelph鈥檚 first ever Lang Tax Case Conference.

I was not exactly sure what to expect about university or co-op. Job application? Who is she? Despite all of this, the Launch Your Career conference organized by SAF opened my eyes to a wide array of opportunities that I would have been too scared to think about months ago.

Hi, I鈥檓 Nicholas B. and I鈥檓 in my 1A term of the Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) program. The story I have for you is one of seizing an opportunity and achieving greatness. Anyone can get lucky, but it takes a true 蓝莓视频 Warrior to make their own luck and ensure greatness.

Recently, I participated in the Schulich RISE Strategy Discipline Case Competition, where delegates from various prestigious Canadian universities compete with each other by solving a complex business problem.
