Unleashing Excellence: Our Vision at Cantor
Our Mission
To cultivate excellence in academics and professional development for students interested in programming and quantitative finance through process-driven member education and handpicked projects.
Founding Principles
The club recruitment process should focus on aptitude, curiosity, and commitment - interviewing candidates who haven’t interviewed before doesn’t provide much insight into their strengths.
Working backwards from the needs of top firms in quantitative finance and software engineering to drive member education ensures member success in job recruitment.
Process-driven learning, built around projects and collaborative problem solving, fosters academic growth and enables meaningful learning experiences.
