What happens during the day?
The event is structured around two main learning blocks. In Beyond the Textbook: Solving A Business Challenge, participants will join faculty in teams to work through a real-world problem, evaluate a new product idea and consider the issue from an investor’s perspective. The later session, Entrepreneurship 101: From Ideas to Action, focuses on start-up experience at UTM’s ICUBE and on how critical thinking can support social enterprises.
UTM says the day is meant to show how innovative thinking, collaboration and leadership can turn everyday challenges into opportunities for impact. The event also points visitors toward a virtual campus tour and the university’s business program catalogue for anyone still comparing options after the visit.
How do you register and get there?
The event page directs visitors to register in advance. Free parking is available only for registered guests, and those instructions will arrive by email after registration. Arrival and check-in are set for 9:30am at the Student Services Hub in the William G. Davis Building (DV), before the first activity starts at 10:15am.
The published page also notes that the schedule is still being developed and will be finalized when registration opens. Even so, the event page already gives prospective attendees enough information to plan the basics: date, time, location, parking and the order of the day.
