Message from Maria Rivera, Managing Director

One of the four goals in Rotman’s Academic Plan Catalyst for Change is harnessing the power of community. As a Rotman student, you will have access to an incredible community of global business leaders who will be important partners in your professional and personal development as an MBA student. This community includes Rotman’s diverse and dedicated network of over 14,000 alumni worldwide and the deep pool of corporate and industry partners Rotman engages with every year.

Here’s a few tips on how you can harness the power of community as a student at Rotman:

  • Take Professor Tiziana Casciaro’s advice and consider networking as an opportunity for learning. Read more about what leaders need to know about networking here.
  • Don’t miss out on the hundreds of amazing speakers Rotman brings in every year to discuss the most pressing business issues of our time. Stay up to date on Rotman’s speaker series here and make sure to carve out time during the schoolyear to attend these impactful sessions.
  • Bookmark the Rotman Insights Hub to stay current on the learning, engagement, and professional development happening across the Rotman community. By sharing discoveries, experiences and advice, our intent is to strengthen and accelerate Rotman’s impact on expanding the frontiers of business knowledge.
  • Take part in the numerous networking opportunities Career Services provides our students from industry event nights, workshops with alums, to unique mentoring opportunities such as our LEADS program. You’ll learn more about how Career Services connects you with industry in Careers Discovery Week to be held later this month.

You are joining a powerful community of people with diverse backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs, with wide-ranging experience, talents and aspirations. We can’t wait for you to get to know them!

Looking forward,
Maria
