Events
Every year, the Centre organizes events designed to connect our students with industry leaders in the city-building sphere. Beyond fostering connections between students and professionals, these events shine a light on tangible career paths for students to explore after graduation, providing an excellent opportunity for enhanced learning outside the classroom.

These mixers offer students an intimate and candid perspective on the paths these leaders took to reach where they are today.
