Work-life balance is no easy feat. Throw a full course load and a thriving business into the mix, and the equation gets even more complicated.

Time management is crucial in achieving a work-life balance!

Hi everyone! I’m Jolie, a 3A student in the Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) program at the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF). University life is certainly busy, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t have any spare time to do other important things, for example, reflect on ourselves!

A Sweet and Sustainable Victory

Hello UWaterloo Community!

We are Evelyn (bottom left), Joanne (top left), Philbert (bottom right), and Ceanna (top right), and we competed in the STRIVE National Case Competition in the upper-year student level and we emerged with a first place win!

The key is to know what the right fit is for you

Jonathan Y., PhD in Accounting student
When I was in business school, most of my friends were focused on working at an accounting firm. Wearing suits and working downtown sounded attractive but I always felt that a professional career in accounting was not the right fit for me.

It's pretty clear what we in the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) Outreach & Ambassador Program (SOAP) and all of the SAF mentors would recommend to incoming students: get involved with the School’s activities!
