Hear from past participants:
"The QPCG Women’s Mentorship program provided me with a wonderful experience during my first year at Queen’s Commerce. Coming into the commerce program with an interest, but not a background, in finance I found the mentorship program made it comfortable to ask questions and helped me build a strong foundation. It allowed me to apply what I had learned throughout the year and connect with students on QPCG. My upper year mentor gave me insight into the amazing community QPCG fosters that I am excited to now be a part of!"

"Completing the Queen’s Private Capital Group Women’s Mentorship Program in my first year was formative in my decision to pursue capital markets. From developing relationships with industry mentors to learning the nuances of the field, the program provided a platform for education and openness regarding private markets. I highly urge any female-identifying first year students to apply!"

"I had the incredible opportunity to participate in QPCG’s Women’s Mentorship Program last year. Not only did I learn how to navigate the complexities of technical finance knowledge, but I also connected with many women who are equally as passionate about finance as I am. It was invaluable to receive mentorship from upper-year women and hear of their experiences in this industry as well."
