CFM wants to welcome you back to campus with food and conversation. Join us for our Spring Welcome Event in DC 1301 (Fishbowl) on May 14th from 5:00 - 6:30 pm!
All CFM first year students are encouraged to participate in the CFM First Year Hackathon. This is an opportunity for all first year students to get familiarized with building financial portfolios and coding using ReactJS. This hackathon will run on a group basis with each group having at least 2 students and no more than 4 students.
If you are a first year CFM student interested in participating, please start looking for your group. Information session with more details will be held on Nov. 16.
Convocation is a special time to celebrate. We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming ceremony!
University of Waterloo hosts two convocations per year (spring and fall), in the Physical Activities Complex (PAC) on campus. Computing and Financial Management alternates with the Faculty of Arts every other year, graduating with the Faculty of Mathematics in 2018 and with the Faculty of Arts in 2019.
Opportunities in Fintech a success.
Congratulations to the 2024 CFM 101 Team Competition Winners!
Congratulations to the CFM 101 Team Competition Winners!
CFM co-director Justin Wan has received the 2023 Arthur Beaumont Distinguished Service Award from CAIMS, the Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society. Named after its first recipient, the award was established in 1987 to honour Waterloo Applied Mathematics Professor Arthur Beaumont for his many years of service to the society.
Keshav Chawla has long harboured a passion for computer science and finance. When he discovered a way to pursue both disciplines simultaneously through Waterloo’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 first-ever CFM course to be offered at the University of Waterloo 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 Waterloo’s School of Accounting and Finance, has been elected as a president of the Northern Finance Association, a Canadian-based association of researchers in the field of finance.
