- The Executive Committee (TEC on Campus) - Very unique program that allowed me the opportunity to spend time with a successful entrepreneur while working together with my MBA peers sharing ideas and exploring possible career paths.  It's an excellent complement to the classroom setting.

- John Molson International Case Competition - It is the oldest and largest international case competition, where more than 30 schools from around the world competed in a 5-day event. I was the alternate team member the first year and the team captain the second year. The experience was definitely one of my MBA highlights.
