2023 Student Testimonials
As a member of the Sprott Student Consulting Group, I had the privilege of collaborating with business clients to address their unique challenges. My experience included undertaking corporate and project roles and then leading the organization as the Executive Director, which enabled me to forge connections both locally and globally. Under the mentorship of the Academic Director, I gained insights I wouldn’t have in a standard classroom. At its heart, SSCG is about serving the community while shaping the next generation of leaders. There’s no better opportunity for leadership and professional growth for students than SSCG.
– Angus Lau, Sprott Student, SSCG Executive Director
