Evelyn's entrepreneurial journey

    

Evelyn is a first-year Computing and Financial Management student. She joined Waterloo Entrepreneurship Residence Connection (WERC) when she started school.

The Computing and Financial Management (CFM) program kicked off its first student-led hackathon for first year CFM students. The hackathon was held with the aim of helping first year CFM students develop collaboration and time management skills. Students also learned how to compose optimum financial portfolios and build clean coding styles.

"Initially, I heard about the program while I was looking at the Double Degree program at UW and stumbled upon CFM." 
Learn how Asad (CFM '18) found out about CFM and chose it as his program of choice. 

The School of Accounting and Finance's (SAF) sixth Annual Investment Research Challenge proved to be another memorable experiential opportunity for SAF students. Serving as a training ground for students who have gone on to win external competitions, including the global championship for the 2016 CFA Research Challenge, 18 student teams competed in July for a top prize of $2,000. Two CFM students are among the winners of the first-placed team. 

It’s been a year since School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) students took the world stage by storm at the CFA Institute Research Challenge and a lot has changed in that short period of time. In 2016 five students from the SAF (l-r), Kamaljot Dhaliwal, Daniel Zhang, Brent Small, Rudder Zhang and Adnan Khan, used their diverse co-op and program backgrounds to beat out over 1,000 teams from 70 countries to become the World Champions in a business valuation competition. But, where are they now?
