As an integral part of the Smith Commerce recruitment strategy, High School Liaison participates in many events throughout the year. Events fall under two main categories: promotion and transition.
Events that fall into the first category work to promote Smith Commerce to prospective students during Fall Preview Days, March Break Open House, Summer Orientation to Academics and Resources (SOAR) and the Ontario University Fair (OUF). The latter aid in helping accepted students transition into the program by facilitating online communications, leading orientation days prior to the start of the semester, and participating in mentorship events throughout the school year.
Fall Preview takes place in the fall to allow prospective students to immerse themselves into the life of a Queen's student. You will have the opportunity to tour the campus and Goodes Hall, speak to current students, learn about the program, and more!
SOAR takes place every July with the support of the Commerce Office. Incoming students will have the opportunity to meet their peers and upper-years, receive tours of Goodes Hall and the Queen's campus, attend Q&A sessions, and more!
Every fall, HSL attends OUF to help share the student perspective with prospective students and families. With over 125,000 attendees, OUF is one of the largest educational fairs in North America held in Toronto, ON.
Every spring, students are invited to spend a day at Goodes to learn more about the Commerce Program. Students will have the opportunity to attend presentations, speak with current students, attend panels, and more!
Throughout the school year, first-year students will have the opportunity to attend events to meet their peers and the HSL Executive Team. Past events include HSLxEDGE First-Year Headshots, I Love Smith Because, First-Year Holiday Movie Night, and Exam Study Sessions.
Tours of Goodes Hall will be run in collaboration with the Smith Commerce Office and High School Liaison. If you are interested in receiving a tour, please sign up below.

There are no majors in the Smith Commerce program, but students can stream in an area of interest in their third and fourth year (e.g. Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Consulting, International Business, etc.) if they want to. Students can also be generalists if they choose.
Smith does not offer a co-op program. However, the Career Advancement Centre (CAC) helps students to find both internship positions (during their time in the program) and full-time positions (after graduation).
There are many ways to get involved on campus. Campus-wide clubs are overseen by the Alma Mater Society (AMS) and Commerce specific clubs are overseen by the Commerce Society (ComSoc). Clubs within the Commerce Society include businesses, conferences/competitions, industry associations, social initiatives, professional development, student life, and more.
Most Commerce Society clubs release applications in late-September where applicants complete a written application and interview. Students are allowed to accept only one Commerce Society club position in the first semester of first year. An additional hiring cycle occurs in March each year.
