Why I chose to get involved with BASA: I have always been one to partake in school activities and when I started attending different events BASA was hosting, I could immediately see the benefits of going to such events and I enjoyed the experience. Therefore, I was motivated to be a part of the association that provided me with these opportunities, so that I could aid in bringing these events to other business students in the future. The great sense of community and bonding that exists between executives and managers was also instrumental in shaping my decision of joining BASA.

Favourite thing about the University of Winnipeg: One of my favourite things about the University of Winnipeg is all the people you get to meet. From the professors to the students, there is such a variety of knowledgeable and genuine people. It‘s central location and continuous expansion are additional features you cannot deny.

Why I chose to get involved with BASA: I heard of BASA from friends and decided to see for myself if this was something I wanted to be a part of. I attended a few events as well as the AGM (annual general meeting). Immediately I knew that the people that I interacted with and the environment that was there was something I wanted to be a part of.

Favourite thing about the University of Winnipeg: My favourite thing about The University of Winnipeg is the opportunities that are available. It’s up to us as students to take advantage of them!

Elliot Geisler, Associate Officer of Corporate Relations
elliot [at] uwbasa.ca
Area of Concentration: 4 Year BBA, with a concentration in Marketing.

Why I chose to get involved with BASA: I chose to get involved with BASA because of the great things I experienced through friends who were on the team last year. Everyone seemed to love their jobs and I was interested in how everything was being run. It seemed like an exceptional place to further my business experience while also helping fellow students at my own university.

Favourite thing about the University of Winnipeg: I love the sense of community at the University of Winnipeg, the closely knit campus environment makes everything about university more enjoyable which is what all schools should strive towards.

Favourite course taken in the Business Department: As this is my first year at the University of Winnipeg (I just got transferred from the University of Manitoba), I haven't had any experience with the University of Winnipeg’s course syllabus or professors. However, in my first couple of years of studying business, my favourite course has been in Marketing.
 
Advice for fellow students: Give a variety of things a try in your first year at University. Almost all of us tend to change our minds at least once before we decide what we really want to do. Take your time and don't feel pressured to make a decision right away. Passion for something amounts to great performance and satisfaction.
