“I was extremely fortunate to participate in the Haskayne Finance Club (HFC) equity research program in 2024 - an experience that proved invaluable to both my education and career development. The program's structure, combined with mentorship provided by HFC executives, equipped me with critical skills through mock presentations and hands-on workshops. Now, nearly a year removed from the program, I find myself referring to those technical and non-technical lessons daily. The program remains a central part of my educational story in interviews and a cornerstone of my personal and professional growth. I would like to extend my gratitude to the HFC for the memorable experience and for the impactful work they do to connect and strengthen the University of Calgary's finance community. I strongly encourage students to apply to the program as you will gain the opportunity to learn, grow, and challenge yourself in meaningful ways.”
