How a rainy day changed my life

Hi, I’m Alex, and I am a student in the Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) program at the University of Waterloo. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, working on financial models, and walking my 10-year-old Bichon-Shih Tzu Ozzy (who can be seen in the photo below, proudly sporting his Waterloo bandana).

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!

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!
