Letter From The Dean

Dear Partners and Community,

The Gustavson School of Business is fortunate to have a growing

group of student organizations that seek to advance the visions

and goals of our school.

We take immense pride in the amazing work our students do

both inside and outside of the classroom. From our Commerce

Students Society (CSS) to the Young Women in Business

organization, the UVic Consulting Group and our many case

competition teams, student-run organizations bring tremendous

value to the dynamic learning environment we have at

Gustavson.

Our school’s vision and approach is founded on four pillars that

underpin everything we do: international, integrative, innovative

and sustainable/socially responsible. Our student organizations

are a key part of developing that vision. As Gustavson grows, I

know our student organizations will continue strengthening the

link between our school and the business community, through

more events, workshops, consulting projects, co-ops and

participation in competitions here and around the world.

As a partner to our students, you support a community of

engaged and passionate students who are keen to connect and

develop professionally. Whether you are starting new

relationships or developing existing ones, you are contributing to

our student’s success.

On behalf of Gustavson and our diverse group of student

organizations, we thank you for your support.

Greater Victoria


Businesses Banquet

The Greater Victoria annual business banquet is one of the Commerce Students’ Society most

prestigious and longest-running events. With over 250 guests, Gustavson students, faculty and staff

join local business representatives and founders to enjoy an evening of fine dining and inspiring

presentations. Banquet attendees can expect to meet and network with one another in a formal

business setting, where a sense of community and growth is strong. Along with ticket sales, all

proceeds from silent auctions are donated to a local charity.

This most significant event of the year is an opportunity to showcase your organization, and speak

about your values with a diverse and expansive business community. This is a perfect opportunity to

show support, and gain recognition from students across the Gustavson School of Business. This event

is well known and highly anticipated across Victoria businesses and is a memorable event for all

involved. We hope to see you there.

Five Days for

the Homeless

Five Days for the Homeless is a national campaign that

challenges university students to forego the comforts of their

home for five days to address youth homelessness in Canada.

Each year across the country, 20 universities, including the

University of Victoria, participate in events to increase awareness

about homelessness and raise funds for local initiatives and

charities.

The dedicated community outreach team at the CSS is

comprised of seven talented individuals who are passionate about

giving back to the community. Through their work with 5 Days,

they hope to inspire other students and the community at large

to help alleviate an issue that is so prevalent. After raising close

to $8000 in the spring of 2022, the CSS has set a goal to raise

$10,000 in 2023.

I N S U P P O R T O F
Over the course of the week in spring 2023, the CSS will run an

LOCAL

event campaign. Through partnerships with organizations like


INITIATIVES
yours, the CSS will ensure the success of the events, and increase

the benefit brought to the community. Your contributions will


H O M E L E S S N E S S help assist an ongoing issue, and contribute to an amazing cause.
