One of our favourite annual student events is called Reflection where the graduating class gathers to reflect on their transformational MBA journey. We just celebrated Reflection with the Class of 2021 and here’s some chords of wisdom the graduates would like to share with you.
As you set to embark on your own journey, it’s important to take a moment to reflect on the goals you are setting for yourself. Here’s a breakdown of some of the goals and tactics to keep in mind for each of the three activities happening between now and Program Kickoff on August 16th.
- Curriculum: To be able to get the most from the rich learning experience Rotman has to offer, aim to be in Toronto this fall. We are planning to be on-site as much as possible and we want you to benefit from the active in-person interactions among students and faculty. We encourage you to join us in person to set yourself up for academic success in the program.
- Careers: No doubt that you are embarking on this journey to shift the trajectory of your career. Set yourself up for professional success by making sure to attend Career Discovery Week on July 26 – July 29, 2021. This week will provide you with the foundation and resources required to get a head-start on your job search and connect with the Career Services team, Rotman alumni, and industry professionals for insights across a range of emerging and diverse industries.
- Community: The people in your class will be the business leaders of tomorrow. Not only will your professional network grow as a result of joining our community but your personal life will be enriched through these connections. Prioritize participating in the many welcoming events the 6ix Squad is planning for you this summer. Our students are looking forward to getting to know you!
You will experience tremendous intellectual, professional, and personal growth in the years ahead. We hope the above guidance and introspection can help you prioritize among our many pre-program offerings.
Looking forward,
Maria and Scott
