Humans of Telfer – Maria

Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.

─ William Arthur Ward


“Telfer presents multiple opportunities for its students; and those who take advantage of them manage to thrive in their careers. Students have numerous chances to connect with employers from well-known companies during networking events hosted by the Telfer Career Centre, the most prominent of which is Telfer Networks. Telfer graduates also tend to have a very strong, diverse business education (in both their specialization and business in general). During my time at Telfer, I enriched my knowledge in different aspects of business, increased my confidence in presenting, and learned to network. I can say with conviction that I am glad to be a Telfer student as it has successfully guided me through the intricacies of the world of business.”

– Maria Bssadh, 2nd-year Finance
