Urvi Kachroo

Favourite Course: RSM222 Managerial Accounting I
Favourite RCAS event and why: My favourite event is Recruiting Anatomy (RA)! It was the first event I planned as an events committee member my first year in RCAS and it was the first RCAS event I attended! I got to hear from a panel of upper year students who shared their experiences in the industry. I was also given the opportunity to network with industry professionals just before recruiting season!

Jesse Rodrigues

Director of Corporate Relations

Year: 3
Favourite Course: RSM324 Canadian Income Tax
Favourite RCAS event and why: My favourite RCAS event is RCAS Cares! It feels great to be able to annually give back to the community while encouraging students to build connections with representatives from the Big 4. Last year I had the opportunity to bring donations created by students to the Children’s Book Bank along with other members of our RCAS team, and it was one of my favourite university experiences so far to see where our donations were actually going to be used, and to see the smiling faces of the children they would be used by.

Joseph Petizian

Director of Finance

Year: 3
Favourite Course: RSM219 Introduction to Financial Accounting
Favourite RCAS event and why: My favourite RCAS event is Recruiting Anatomy (RA)! RA is a networking event that we host every year providing students with exposure to firm representatives from the Big4. The workshops at this event are ones that are very creative, which aim to help students learn tips and tricks that can help them throughout the application process. Students also get to meet many recruiters from each of the Big4 firms, while having the opportunity to reconnect with their peers before the start of the new school year. All in all, I believe RA is a great event, and it is one that I look forward to every year!

Taylor Cicvaric

Year: 3
Favourite Course: CIN216 Crime Film Studies
Favourite RCAS event and why: My favourite RCAS event is Chartered for Success (C4S)! I love being able to meet the incoming class for Rotman, and to ‘debunk’ high school accounting myths. C4S is a really great introduction to accounting and allows first years to learn more about the CPA pathway in a fun and interactive way!

The holiday spirits are always so high at this event, which I find makes networking way more comfortable! There are so many reasons why RCAS Cares is such an iconic RCAS event, which is why it is my favourite!
