I thought to myself, ‘why not take it one step further and apply for a Campus Brand Ambassador (CBA) position rather than being just a delegate?’ Read Ceanna’s blog on how she won the Campus Brand Ambassador of the Year Award at the STRIVE Conference!

"If you're a bird, I'm a bird. Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at SAF!

For today's Valentine's Day love story, we're taking it back to the '90s. John Gort (BA/CA ’93) and Dorothy Chong (BMath/CA ’94) were both living in the Kershaw Apartments when their friends first introduced them. However, it wasn't until they were on a co-op work term together that sparks began to fly. Their first date was actually unplanned. They were both working late on an inventory count and went out to dinner afterward. It was dating and going to Oktoberfest with frien...ds that were some of their fondest memories of UW. In 1996 after they graduated, the two moved abroad and got married a year later. They will be celebrating their 23rd wedding anniversary this year, and had this relationship advice to share: "An equal partnership is the foundation for everything else and a little mutual attraction doesn’t hurt either " A little #throwback trivia: The Kershaw Apartments were an off-campus student residence on Phillip St. that used to be part of the large complex of WCRI apartment buildings beside Ken Sushi. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! We hope you liked hearing these love stories from alumni.

This past weekend, #UWaterlooSAF students competed at the annual STRIVE Conference. Being the largest accounting conference in Ontario, STRIVE allows students to gain experience in case competitions and networking sessions, while applying the knowledge learned in the classroom to real-world scenarios in the accounting and finance profession.

We also want to say how proud we are of all our teams that competed, and couldn’t be happier to have such great students representing SAF!
