You can start a business with vibes, but you can’t build it or maintain it on vibes alone. Learn what goes into assessing ideas and building a business around them. Professor David Roach from the Faculty of Management has an engineering background combined with business expertise that has helped hundreds of hopeful entrepreneurs make frank and realistic assessments of how to bring their innovation to market - including his own biomedical engineering business.
Choosing what to study (and where!) after high school can feel overwhelming. Bring your questions to this session with Dr. Mike Smit, Dean, Faculty of Management, Dalhousie University, and get honest and practical advice that will help you cut through the noise to find the program and place for you. A computer scientist who left his family’s dairy farm in rural Nova Scotia to do ocean, climate, and health research in the Faculty of Management, and program director for the Shad Dalhousie summer program from 2013 to 2023, Dr. Smit has a long history of helping students find their path at universities all over the world. He’ll explore what really matters to you, from your interests and goals to campus culture and career opportunities, so you can make confident, informed decisions about your future.
Every day, businesses are competing for your attention: with branding, messaging, product placement, paid advertising, influencers, and viral videos, spending literally one trillion dollars globally to help influence your choices. Pull back the curtain to see how they compete for your attention and why it works, with a Dal professor of marketing.
