President's Welcome
When students first come to study Business at UNSW, they are immediately immersed by the opportunities that the UNSW Business Society has to offer. The UNSW Business Society fosters an environment for strong personal and professional development, and encourages students to continually challenge themselves by cultivating knowledge, skills and abilities that will enable them to succeed in the corporate world. At the end of the day our goal is to enhance student employability, whilst making university a didactic, rewarding and enjoyable experience in the process. UNSW’s Business Society marks its existence in all corners of the university campus and life.
As such, I joined the UNSW Business Society in my first year of university and was struck by the incredibly positive support network that the UNSW Business Society promotes. Having enjoyed the personal development programs such as the Orientation Camp and Peer Mentoring Program, I also participated in professional skills and networking workshops, gaining a heightened understanding of career opportunities and developing important technical and soft skills in the process. Due to these initiatives organised by the UNSW Business Society, I have learnt more than I could have imagined – the skills, knowledge and confidence to pursue my potential career opportunities.
For 2013, we wish to continue fostering the supportive community and core values of enriching the student experience, which the UNSW Business Society has established since 1957. To achieve this, the UNSW Business Society would be thrilled to have you on board as a partner of what is an incredibly united and driven society, to provide a means for self-preparation, growth and business opportunities for all motivated students so they can meet and raise the standards of the business world.
