Back from NBSC & HR Sympo!

Before we dive into the finals & lovely marketing presentations, here's your external update of the week!

So this past weekend the MUS had 3 events going on: CASCO which was a huge success, HR Symposium (McGill brought back home two trophies!) and NBSC, an annual business school conference in Winnipeg.
Myself, VP Comm Rebecca Black and our President Dave Fortin attended the National Business School Conference that's held every year in Winnipeg. NBSC is a great learning experience for executives from business schools around Canada to get together and discuss issues & come up with new initiatives. The conference itself is separated into different breakout sessions focused on student engagement, resolution of conflicts and long terms strategy & vision for student councils. The breakout sessions were very interactive & efficient in terms of exchanging information and it definitely helped us to come up with some solutions & further progress in new things we've implemented this year such as Corporate Relations system and the Competition Committee. We all came back with new ideas, for me it was concerning Corporate Relations, our Desautels Business Conference on Sustainability and competitions. VP Comm had a great feedback on our Branding Policies and also learned some new amazing ideas for the First Year Street team, while our President was mainly focused on motivating non-involved students and how could the MUS bring additional service to the entire student body.

HR SYMPO: Our first podium of the year! Desautels delegation was competing at HR Sympo, a case competition held at the Telfer School of Management in Ottawa. It's the first one of the year and our students got a 3rd place in HR Case, the biggest case of the competition. Team composed of Alexis Radojcic, Adam Dyrda & Patricia Lohmus will also be representing Desautels at JDC, congrats and good luck guys! Olivier Bouchard who was part of our sports team got the MVP Award, so congratulation to the entire delegation and our Competition Committee!

Coming up: Mini Jeux this weekend, which is an excellent opportunity for our sports & social JDC teams to practice against other schools.

On this, I wish all of you good luck and fun sleepless nights at the library
