不良研究所

Former investment banker turned not-for-profit executive Curtis Probst, who is based in New York, says attending the Haskayne School of Business was 鈥減robably the best return on investment I鈥檝e ever achieved.鈥�  

鈥淭he Haskayne School of Business gave me an incredible set of skills that served me well in my finance career鈥� which has included putting together over $50-billion worth of deals.  It also gave Probst access a diverse community of U不良研究所 alumni.

鈥湶涣佳芯克� grads would probably be surprised to know that there are hundreds of alumni living in the New York area,鈥� he says. 鈥淢any are doing amazing things in industry, government, academia or not-for-profit organizations.鈥� Probst, a constant presence and big supporter of alumni events in New York, serves as a member of U不良研究所 International鈥檚 U.S. Regional Advisory Council. 

Reminding alumni around the world that it鈥檚 important to stay in touch.

鈥淲hether people stay connected for professional or personal networking, or are driven by a desire to give back to the community, maintaining a close relationship with the university is truly a win-win proposition,鈥� he says.

As well as giving generously of his time, he has also made many financial gifts to the university including his support of the Mary & Ray Probst Memorial Bursary, the Dr. Bob Schulz Business Competition Sustainability Endowment and the N. Murray Edwards Finance and Trading Lab.

While Probst has given much to the school, he is very appreciative of all that the university has offered to him over the years. 鈥淧ersonally,鈥� he says, 鈥淚 think I got the better end of the deal.鈥�
