In honour of Black History Month, SAF student Daniella shares her experience as an Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) student at the University of Waterloo. Through dance, leadership, and community building, she has embraced her culture and created spaces for connection—from leading the African Student Association to co-founding an initiative supporting Black students in finance, she’s working to empower the next generation.

Breaking barriers: Building community and Black representation in business

Michael’s journey in the Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) program came with challenges, including the lack of Black representation in accounting—but it also sparked a drive to create change! Through mentorship, UWBASE, Blackleaf Capital, and co-founding the Waterloo Black Business Society, he’s building a community that uplifts and empowers Black students.

Finding your home community at UWaterloo

Since I moved from Hong Kong at fourteen years old, finding “home” in a new country was a scary thing. With time and new experiences, I have learned to be independent, gained intercultural skills, and developed curiosity for the people and things around me. Starting university at Waterloo was a learning curve too (with co-op as well).

Embracing a future in sustainable finance: reflections on my SFM journey

Hi! I’m Jaiden, an upper-year student in the Sustainability and Financial Management Program (SFM). When I first applied to SFM in grade 12, I was super excited, but a bit nervous. It was a brand-new program, and although I knew I would love my classes, I wondered how potential employers might react to this new degree offering.

Our team (from left to right: Anshul, Baldwyn, and Rebecca) recently had the opportunity to compete in the Young Tax Professionals (YTP) Case Competition on June 16, 2023.
