Tin and Marsha received bursaries from the Order of Chartered Accountants of Quebec, and Diana was one of two Quebec students to make the national Honour Roll for her performance in the 2005 uniform final exam, or UFE.

About 75 people attended a reception to celebrate the university’s 26th batch of newly minted chartered accountants. Sixty-seven students wrote and passed the gruelling UFE to qualify.

President Claude Lajeunesse, Provost Martin Singer and Dean Jerry Tomberlin extended their congratulations. Diane Messier, from the OCAQ (Order of Chartered Accountants of Quebec) presented bursaries on behalf of the Foundation of Chartered Accountants of Quebec to new students in the program.

Wendy Roscoe, who heads the program and emceed the event, said the reception was well attended by representatives from most of the CA firms in Montreal.
