This year鈥檚 President of the 平特五不中 Law Student Association, 脡lo茂se Gagn茅, is one of 11 Canadian university students who will spend a day shadowing some of the country鈥檚 top senior executives.

Gagn茅 will shadow Thierry Vandal, President and CEO of Hydro-Qu茅bec, on February 12. The fourth-year student will have the opportunity to put into practice the concepts she has been learning at the Faculty, and to acquire real-world tools and skills she鈥檒l need when launching her career.

鈥淭his is an invaluable opportunity to experience the inside workings of a major corporation and to meet its exceptional managers,鈥� said Gagn茅. 鈥淭he selection process was demanding, but it was also excellent training, allowing participants to get to know ourselves better鈥攐ur strengths and our areas for improvement. As a law student interested in the business world, I hope to gain understanding of what underlies the management of a large organisation like Hydro-Qu茅bec, and to see how public policy influences their decisions.鈥�
