About Us

The University of New South Wales Business Society (BSOC) is the peak representative body for UNSW students studying Commerce and/or Economics at an undergraduate level. Our member base of over 5400 students is the largest of all societies within the university, representing a substantial and lucrative talent pool which continues to swell the ranks of global business leaders each year.

BSOC's fundamental aim is to epitomise a far-reaching support network - student-inspired and resourcefully driven ? that motivates, challenges and creates opportunities for its students, and accordingly fosters their personal and professional development.

Please see our Constitution (February 18 2009) for further details.



 

President's Welcome

A couple of years ago, I walked into university oblivious to what I was getting myself into. It's a daunting change for a freshman, stepping outside the high school bubble of friendly faces you've grown up with and into a new world. And into a new world – with thousands of people you've never met.

My friend and I discovered and signed up with the Business faculty's Peer Mentoring Program and that was the first time I was acquainted with UNSW Business Society. Our mentors were students who had walked the path we were about to take. They advised us about the ins-and-outs of university life and we made some new friends with the other mentees.

One of my mentors told us about an event he was organising, where a prominent guest speaker was coming on campus to talk about career prospects for students (this was when the media's most popular words were "bailout" and "stimulus package"). I went to the presentation with dozens of other students and it was there that I learned things the lecturers don't teach you in class. I picked up a credo I still stand by today: you don't just change into the person you want to be 10 years from now - you start getting there today.

Students no longer go through university with the only goal of academic excellence; we're embracing a culture of professional development, personal accomplishment and social networking. Therefore, in 2010, UNSW Business Society's objective is to build a community that affords our members with a well-rounded university experience, providing opportunities for them to take flight and reach their higher goals.

And we want you to be a part of it.



Robert Chan
President 2010
