Student Life
S
tudent life at Rotman Commerce is a crucial part of our students’ overall program experience. We offer a number of vital
extracurricular activities that allow students to learn more about themselves, their professional aspirations, and their peers outside of the classroom. Among the opportunities that Rotman Commerce students take advantage of are our conferences and competitions subsidy, our Jeux de Commerce team, our technical training workshops, Y1 and Y2 conferences, and our seasonal socials.

The conferences and competition subsidy is one of our most popular programs. Among the events our students attended through this program were the London School of Economics Alternative Investments Conference, the African Business Conference at Harvard, the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations, and the National Investment Banking Competition and Conference in Vancouver at which the Rotman Commerce team placed second.

These professional development opportunities have better equipped me to lead my own not-for-profit as well as to adapt to changing business strategies common to start-ups this past summer in Silicon Valley.” 16
