WINTER 2021 EVENTS

Mentorship Program

Picture


​WIF announced the beginning of our Mentorship Program and accepted applications from amazing students. This 4 month opportunity will take place in January 2021 and was targeted towards female students in all years and programs who are passionate about launching a career in finance.

The mentees will be paired up with an alumnus or senior student that has already broken into the finance industry. They will mentor students one-on-one over the course of the 4-month period to help them get closer to landing a finance co-op!
A Day in Capital Markets Conference
Picture
On February 19, UW WIF had the opportunity to host A Day in Capital Markets Virtual Conference for female University of Waterloo students interested in pursuing a career in the finance industry. Our keynote speaker, industry panelists, and participating firms delivered meaningful sessions that helped inspire, educate, and encourage our participants. Keynote speaker Lindsey Walton delivered an inspirational and thought provoking session on what it means to be equity educated, and how to overcome adversity in times of hardship throughout one's career as a woman working in finance. Industry panelists Kaylee Arnold, Lindsay Scott, Margaret Wu, and Aly Hadibhai provided helpful advice on how to navigate career paths and make the most out of co-op opportunities throughout this engaging session. Participating firms TD Securities, RBC Capital Markets, Polar Asset Management Partners, and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan delivered informative presentations and answered questions about firm culture and various areas of finance.
 
Thank you to everyone—speakers, firms, and students—who helped make this Virtual Conference possible!
