Hear from Our Students

Stephanie Ritchie

BABC Alumna 2020, Canada
Communications Specialist at bioLytical Laboratories
“The degree really did make a difference. As soon as I could put that I had a degree, I immediately started getting job offers, especially in communications, which is what I wanted to do. So even though I had almost 20 years of experience doing communications, I wasn’t being considered for the majority of communications jobs, only project management jobs.”

Vikas Sehgal

BCom Alumnus 2022, India Personal Banker/Mutual Funds Representative – BMO Financial Group/BMO Investments Inc. Product Manager
“From my first year to the final, I have learned so much about myself and figured out what I wanted to do with my life…I’m very thankful to UCW for providing me the best possible four years of undergrad experience I could’ve asked for.”
