The Network of Empowered Women Event

, , ,

The Network of Empowered Women at the University of Alberta aims to connect undergraduate business students with successful female business professionals and other talented, ambitious students from across the country as a means of fostering meaningful networks and connections that will inspire young women to pursue any path that they choose for their futures. The main way they try to achieve this is by hosting an annual national conference; this year it will be held at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise on January 23-26. Last year there were students from 10 different schools from across Canada and it would be great to have representatives from uWaterloo this year!

Registration for Brock University Accounting Conferece (BUAC) Deadline on October 25th, 2013

, , ,

Welcome to the opening of the fifth annual inter-collegiate Brock University Accounting Conference (BUAC), held from November 29 - December 1, 2013. The 2013 executive team, along with our wonderful case writers are very excited to announce the theme of this year’s conference as "Merging of the Minds". BUAC will serve as a platform for students from across Canada to network and expand their professional connections. Our goal is to educate and inspire students on the importance of the accounting profession through keynote speakers, workshops and a case competition.

Participating in a conference is a great way to challenge yourself and apply what you have learned in the classroom to a business simulation that emulates a real world situation. Delegates will also get the chance to network with individuals in the accounting profession and create lasting relationships with students from various post-secondary institutions nationwide.

Coming to the conference are extraordinary professionals such as Jason Burgess from Deloitte, Director and VP, with great experience in the tourism and gaming industry. Delegates will learn interesting facts about the Niagara casinos while being in the heart of a Canadian tourist hot spot. Also coming to BUAC 2013 is CPA Canada to speak about their new merge, providing delegates the opportunity to learn more about the CPA designation.

A team of 4 students can participate in one of the divisions:

Our school may send up to a maximum of three teams to participate in any division.

Junior Division: students from 1st and 2nd year of study

Senior Division: students from any year with a maximum of two 4th year students per team

MBA Division: students from graduate business programs
