COMMERCE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
One way that the Commerce program remains connected to
its alumni is through a mentorship program in which a senior
student is matched up with a recent graduate to gain insight
into the workings of the business world. Deloitte Inc’s Justin
Pang, State Street Trust Canada’s Nazneen Khan and RBC Dexia’s
Simon Wong (l to r) are a trio of former students who became
linked when Nazneen, who had been mentored by Justin,
became a mentor to Simon the following year.
SUPPORT FROM OUR
ALUMNI AND FRIENDS
1,331
students received scholarships thanks
in part to the generous donations
from alumni and friends
Our relationship with our students begins with their first inquiry about attending
U of T and continues long after graduation, when they become members of an
international alumni community. We are proud of, and grateful to, the many Arts
& Science alumni who stay involved with their alma mater. They provide advice to
academic leaders, mentor students and advocate on behalf of our priorities. And
they are among our most avid supporters, offering the financial support necessary
to deliver the quality academic experience our students deserve.
In today’s competitive climate, a robust student aid endowment is essential if we
are to continue to attract the brightest young talent to U of T, and to encourage
our students to realize their educational goals. And, with the support of our alumni,
friends and community partners, and matching programs by the Government of
Ontario, we have made real progress, securing more than $2 million for scholarships
and international travel and research opportunities.
