Strategy #1:

Multidisciplinary New Venture Design

Promoting collaboration between faculties towards the creation of initiatives, products, or non-profits.

Strategy #2: UB(Seeds) Capital Fundraising Event

Providing Budding Entrepreneurs with Validation and Capital to Start-Up. The event's objective is to gather at least 200 entrepreneurial-minded students and faculty members in one room to either pitch and/or evaluate ideas presented by other members of the University of British Columbia community.

Strategy #3

Make course evaluations more impactful.

We've found that course evaluations are typically not mandatory for students to complete and are prone to response bias if students have "extreme", negative or positive, feedback.

Currently, the Sauder School of Business (Faculty of Commerce) has these evaluations as mandatory requirements for all students at the end of the term, with a mid-term optional evaluation that is completed in class with the assistance of a peer class liason.

Our goal is to bring the Sauder School method to all faculties in order to provide school administration with a better understanding of their instructors. We also plan to work with applicable administrative and technical partners in order to aggregate this data for student use.
