CONFERENCES AND COMPETITIONS
Student competitions are a key component of student life and learning at the Ted Rogers School of Management (TRSM) and Toronto Metropolitan University.
Competitions allow TRSM students to experience "real-world" business challenges in competitive environments while presenting to industry leaders. Students who participate in conferences and competitions have a richer educational experience overall; the training, collaboration, and competition experience are all important learning opportunities that prepare TRSM students to compete in the business world post-graduation.
TRSS Conference and Competitions Committee works to encourage students to take advantage of these wonderful opportunities by tackling financial barriers students might face when attending these Internal/external conferences.
