Simon’s Elisabeth’s Corner!
It is almost the start of uni again, and things are slowly getting back to work; the McGill Ventures Fund is finally moving within the school, which is very good news!
Our analyst Program at McGill Ventures is also in the works. Our goal this year is to make it as much hands-on as we possibly can with more applications (basically more work to do after class…😬). Our second biggest goal is to make this cohort the most diverse, with students from all faculties!
Anyways, super excited for this semester and the events that are coming!

My first time taking the ferry in Mtl, would recommend while you still can.
Love,
Elisabeth.
