Do you want to develop your problem-solving skills, your presentation skills, and your ability to effectively work under pressure? Hoping to represent DeGroote at case competitions? If you answered yes, to any of these questions, then, you may be interested in the “Case Analysis and Practice” workshop series.

Led by past and current D700 students, this series of workshops and hands-on experiences will take you through case methodology and various analytical tools in more detail. This series will consist of two workshops culminating in a mini case competition. The current schedule includes:

• November 7th (5:30-7:30 PM) – Presentation Basics & Openings
• November 14th (5:30 – 7:00 PM) – Analysis Tools & Implementation
• November 19th SUNDAY (Time TBD) – Mini Case Competition with Milena Head

All first-years interested, please register by emailing Saad Asif (asifs1@mcmaster.ca) with your name, undergrad major and intended MBA specialization. Attendance will be capped at 25. All registered students are expected to attend all three workshops.

The MBAA received a lot of valuable feedback from the Town Hall meeting last week and one point that was raised was that there aren’t too many reasons for students to remain on campus throughout the day.

This is why we want to ask you a question: What would you buy to keep students on campus or encourage leisure activities here at RJC?

We are inviting you all to submit a quick proposal outlining what you think would keep students on campus. Whether it’s on-campus yoga sessions or a toaster, we want to know what your thoughts are! Please include a description of your SPECIFIC idea and a cost if you can.

Please submit your idea proposal to Lea at matulolv@mcmaster.ca by July 8th at noon.

Looking forward to seeing all of your ideas!
