You can change the lives of our students

The dynamic community feel at HEC Montréal made me want to become more involved as a student. In addition to joining an association, I decided to work part-time for Student Services and with the HEC Montréal Foundation. When I graduate, I plan to stay involved through the fundraising campaign so other students can have access to the same resources and opportunities that were there for me.

Mathilde Farot, BBA (Bilingual Stream) HEC Montréal

I’ve been exposed to some great opportunities at HEC Montréal, from my involvement in a student committee to my participation in an international exchange program. These kinds of experiences made my time at HEC Montréal come alive and let me develop some very marketable skill sets. And I know all this is in large part because of the contributions of alumni and other generous donors!
