WINTER 2018 : EVENTS & ACTIVITIES
You're invited to the CBS Career Night event on Jan 24th!
Come join us for an evening networking event and connect with many U of G alumni to explore your future career!
MICRO TYCO
The basics: Micro Tyco is a one month challenge where students are given one month and one dollar to creatively (and ethically/legally!) raise as much money as possible. All profits are then donated back to women in developing nations in the form of micro-loans to start their own projects. It’s entrepreneurs helping entrepreneurs. This is a worldwide competition that will happen in February 2018 meaning UofG students will be in a cohort of rockstar students taking this challenge across the globe. And, I might add, being looked upon very favorably by big corporate recruiters such as Deloitte.
|
The options: CBaSE and CBE are committed to supporting students with this challenge. We will run four labs in January/February on how to start a business and run this challenge. Additionally, in February, we will have a crack-team of mentors, entrepreneurs and resources available for students participating in the challenge. In March, we will host pitch-training and a pitch presentation for students to tell their story.
Students have the option to participate as an extra-curricular or for course-credit (BUS4450). Our only requirement is that if students are participating as an extra-curricular, they need to sign-up in teams of 2-5 students. Here is a link to the registration page. BUS*4450 would be considered a free elective in the BSc degree. There are still spots in the course and you only require 10.00 credits in order to enroll in the course. |
