I came to Trent interested in mathematics and economics, and I'm leaving with a much clearer understanding of where those interests can take me. The knowledge I gained in my courses helped prepare me for opportunities like the CFA Societies Canada Ethics Challenge, and the support I received from faculty gave me the confidence to take them on.
