Commerce trip to Toronto

To give students in the Investment and Portfolio Management course a better feel for the investment industry, their professor, Dr. Nauman Farooqi, took them to Toronto to speak with the people who actually work in the financial sector.

While in Toronto this past March, thirteen students met with Mount Allison alumni:

• Dan Nowlan (’90), Managing Director at CIBC World Markets
• Michael Gibbens (’93), Managing Director at TD Securities
• Purdy Crawford (’52), renowned business leader who is an Officer of the Order of Canada and has been inducted into the Canadian Business Hall of Fame.

In the evening there was an informal get-together with recent MTA grads at Osler’s Law Firm organized by alumnus Matt Stanley (’04).

This trip would not have been possible without the generous financial support of alumnus Michael Gibbens and all those who gave so freely of their valuable time.
