Congratulations to School of Accounting and Finance’s 2025 Valedictorian Matthew Jones (BAFM ’25).
À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ's student team reaches the global finals of the 2025 CFA Institute Research Challenge.Â
The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµâ€™s Dean of Arts, Alexie Tcheuyap, visited a Student Venture Fund (SVF) class to engage with students and faculty about the program’s impact.
Reigning supreme for the sixth year in a row, À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ's Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC) team from the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) won the Canadian Finals in Halifax and secured second place at the Global Finals in North Carolina, defeating some of the best business schools in the world—including Berkeley, Georgetown, Miami University, US Air Force Academy, Trinity College and a close defeat by Dartmout.Â
This represents a great achievement for both SAF and the student team as their finish is the highest ranking achieved by an international team in the VCIC Global competition's 27-year history.Â
This year's team—SAF students Ansh, Joel, John, Nolan, Quynh-Anh and Rachel—proudly represented SAF at the competition, their regional win and historic global finish demonstrating SAF students' unparalleled ability to think like top-tier investors in an intense, fast-paced competition that simulates the real-world venture capital process.
