We introduced this event in September 2023 with the goal of bringing students together and facilitating a process for them to make new connections. We started off with a presentation on networking skills and tips, then students practiced what they learned by engaging in three rounds of networking and activities. 

The academic and external portfolio at HSA collaborate on the Ask your Alumni event to give students the opportunity to network with Haskayne alumni in various concentrations. The students hear from the alumni’s experience after graduating, ask questions and of course, practice networking! In the last Ask Your Alumni event, alumni spoke about topics surrounding industry experience, academics, and networking.

The Commerce Cage is a pitching competition aimed to give students an opportunity to develop their pitching skills by presenting a sales pitch based on a specific product case and a list of customer profiles. The event includes a brief overview of pitching skills and tips before teams pitch to a panel of judges for 2 rounds. The competition allowed students to use their creativity and improve their presentation and communication skills in a fun and welcoming environment.

The Beginner's Case Competition is an introductory case competition designed for students with minimal case competition experience. The first day of the event is a workshop where students learn how to successfully break down a case and develop a presentation. The second half of the event is the competition day where the students apply their skills in a real case competition. This is a great opportunity for beginners who are interested in case competitions to get familiarized with the case competition world!
