“ My degree from Rotman Commerce helped set the foundation for my career. It allowed me to build a strong analytical background and created a lot of early opportunities for me to work in and lead teams—an essential part of work (and life)! I also loved how I got to expand my learning beyond business through elective courses. Taking classes like anthropology and marketing geography was a wonderful way to broaden my perspective and develop a more nuanced view of the world and my work.”
