Thursday is the new Friday

By Ethan MacFadyen and Sam MacPhail

As we enter the 2019–2020 school year, the UPEI Business Society celebrates 50 years of enriching student lives. Established in 1969, the UPEI Business Society continues to be the biggest and most active student society both on campus and in our community. This includes weekly activities and various ways to network within PEI’s business world.

We are very excited to make this the best year yet, and it all starts with YOU, the students. By signing up to be a member of the Business Society you receive discounts on all of our events, at local restaurants and bars, on yoga classes, and, of course, you get to participate in Thursday night trivia with us after a long week (because we don’t believe in Friday classes).

Our year is highlighted by events both large and small. Some of these include our kick-off barbecue during the first week of school, the annual golf tournament at Clyde River Golf Club, and, to end the year, the 43rd annual Business Society Luncheon, which will take place at the Confederation Centre of the Arts in March 2020. For the upcoming school year, we are happy to announce the first annual co-ed softball tournament taking place this fall. There will be endless events for you and your friends to be involved in. We look forward to celebrating our 50th year the right way! Follow us on Instagram @upeibusinesssociety or like our Facebook page UPEI Business Society. If you or anyone you know would like to get involved, visit our office located on the first level of Don and Marion McDougall Hall or email us at upeibusinesssociety@ gmail.com.
