Omar's speech
To Whom it May Concern, The MBA Student Society Association had been created for the purpose of promoting the quality of our students and the quality of education received at Vancouver Island University. Our program is a dual degree program including both a
Master in Business Administration and an Master of Science in International Business (MScIB). We were the first in VIU history to represent the school in competing the National MBA Games Event. Within 2 months we had raised over $42,000 to send a full scale team of students represent Nanaimo proudly and had raised $2500 for the chosen charity of the Ronald
McDonald National House Charity. The VIU MBA Student Society consists of over 180 members. We have also participated in case competitions in collaboration with University of Victoria, University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser
University. This year will be the first year in our provincial history that VIU will be hosting and founding the BC MBA
Games involving MBA schools and students across BC and Seattle. The competition will consist of Spirit, Sport and Case competitions. We are looking to build strategic partnerships within the local, provincial and national business community. Below is our mission statement and vision for the student society:
1.
A succession plan for MBA student society to harvest next generation leadership with a strong code of ethics and promotions of society community activities through an effective comprehensive communication strategy.
2.
To provide valuable experience, networking and opportunities for MBA Students to foster personal growth and development in preparing students for their life and careers outside of the program.
3.
To integrate the classes and to provide a unification of the MBA Program with one heart
