A banking technology expert, Curt Sigfstead currently guides IT strategy for JPMorgan Securities as the head of West Coast technology investment banking. Moreover, Curt Sigfstead supports the San Francisco Marin Food Bank and serves on Shawnigan Lake School’s Board of Trustees. Located on the west coast of Canada, Shawnigan Lake School provides innovative educational programming to help mold students into future leaders. A boarding school, Shawnigan was founded in 1916 and currently maintains a 100 percent college acceptance rate among its graduates. Moreover, the school is home to nationally ranked academic programs that employ experiential learning into the curriculum. Experiential learning involves learning through real-life situations outside of the traditional classroom. Through this hands-on teaching model, students must employ critical thinking to make decisions and learn from their mistakes. Many of the programs at Shawnigan feature experiential learning components. For example, EDGE service trips involve students traveling abroad and gaining a global perspective, and an outdoors program lets students experience whitewater rapids and a fish hatchery.
