by Kennie, Nathan
BBA Alumni Workshops and a Panel Discussion were held on the Friday of Homecoming, featuring Luke Fallwell (BBA 2012, Director of Corporate Development, Sundial Growers Inc., Toronto), Craig Fisher (BBA 2011, Associate, FICC & Trading, Goldman Sachs & Co., Calgary), Tom Labenski (B.Sc. (Biology), Principal, Infrastructure & Natural Resources, OTPP, Toronto), Patrick McNally (BBA 2007, Associate, Stikeman Elliott LLP, Calgary), Andrew Roorda (BBA 2010, Vice President, Macquarie Group, Calgary), and Katie Ruddy (BBA 2011, Senior Manager, Audit, KPMG, Calgary). To facilitate the event, student ambassadors were paired with alumni to greet them, introduce and moderate the sessions. Topics discussed during the sessions included Structuring the Deal, Capital Markets’ Role in Supporting a Low Carbon Energy Transition, and Energy Sector Finances. The panel discussion revolved around career paths, particularly the first decade out from university. Panelists provided personal reflections on why and how their professional and academic paths have unfolded as they have since graduating from Acadia.
