Stay Connected!
Dear SAF community,
It sure has been a whirlwind of a fall term here at UWaterloo, but the energy on campus has been so great to see. In October, we celebrated our newest MAcc graduates during the fall convocation ceremony. Congratulations again to our MAcc Class of 2023!
We have lots of fantastic events lined up for 2024 and we can't wait to see you there. Keep an eye out for invitations and announcements over email and on SAF social media channels to make sure you don't miss out on connecting with the SAF community. We also have some really fun initiatives that we would love to highlight alumni in - like the SAF podcast and social media features! Please let me know if you'd like to hear more about these opportunities and get involved.
I would be delighted to have the opportunity to speak with you, to learn about what you have been doing since graduation and discuss how you may stay connected to the School of Accounting and Finance. If you have news or updates you would like to share with the SAF community, please submit a Class Note and, do not hesitate to contact me via email, at vmhinde@uwaterloo.ca.
Lastly, cheers to a holiday season filled with joy for each and every one of you. Wishing you all wonderful moments with family and friends, and we are excited for what's to come in the new year.
Kind regards,
Victoria Hinde (She/Her),
Alumni Development Officer
