Career Café
A former Olympian, fitness guru, naturopathic doctor, lawyer, financial planner and sport executive were just some of the alumni who took part in the Faculty’s third annual Career Café on February 6. Forty undergraduate students benefitted from the wealth of experience and advice these successful graduates were able to offer. If you have an interesting career path that you would like to share with current students, please contact Masha Sidorova at 416.946.5126. T-Holders’ Association Annual General Meeting
