WELCOME SPONSORS :

Welcome to YUFIC,

The York University Finance and Industry Club (YUFIC) is the oldest organization at the Schulich School of Business with one of the most prominent membership bases. Entering its 11th year, YUFIC seeks to bridge the gap between the classroom environment and the professional workplace setting. We do this via two comprehensive services: 1) a strong curriculum dedicated to empowering students with financial acumen and practical presentation and networking skill sets; and 2) the opportunity to learn from a variety of leaders within the financial services sector.

One of YUFIC's signature offerings is its unique and prestigious networking events. Our networking cocktails are strategically positioned during the year to match key recruiting time periods so as to cater to both recruiter and student agendas. We recognize that our partners need sophisticated representation to complement their company image; as a result, all of our events are hosted in business-casual professional settings to facilitate the networking experience in a comfortable environment. In addition, our selection process is very rigorous. We aim to showcase the top 100 students from the most relevant age groups our partners are looking for. The high demand for these events showcases the value we can add and the talent we can deliver.

The momentum of the club continues throughout the year via monthly workshops that include topics on professionalism and etiquette, corporate finance, managing personal finances, and the various career paths within the financial services sector. YUFIC is intent on providing real educational value to its members so that when approached by our partners they can live up to and surpass their expectations. Consequently, we have developed a research team to compile monthly financial news analysis and a list of finance competitions available to our students.

Finally, YUFIC's most anticipated event, an annual finance conference that takes place in the early weeks of January-the opening of the recruiting season. This is where the top 100 students from business schools across Canada gather in a luxurious downtown hotel for 2 days to learn, network and prepare themselves for a coveted financial services career. The conference features corporate sponsored events and leaders of industry as keynote speakers.

Why invest in YUFIC? Because we challenge the limits of students' extracurricular involvement to bring you the most dedicated and capable talent - not only from Schulich but Canada. Backed by some of the most accomplished students heading the executive team, YUFIC delivers quality and results.

We look forward to serving you.

Thezpaul Dhatt, President

YourNetwork. YourGuide. YourFuture.
