What Telfer Offers You - Video Competition

The Telfer School of Management is looking to create a promotional video that features key aspects of the Undergraduate Program. Who better to unveil what Telfer has to offer than the students themselves? Let us tell you more about the opportunity!

What?

• A two (2) minute original video showcasing highlights of the Telfer School of Management’s BCom program and how it connects you to what matters to you.  Some examples of highlights could include, but should not be limited to:
  • International exchanges and CO-OP;
  • Triple crown of business accreditations;
  • Case competitions;
  • Club events;
  • Classroom activities (your professor must grant permission to use the images);
  • Key areas within the Desmarais Building and on campus (Student Services Centre, Financial Learning Lab and Camille Villeneuve Room are but a few examples);
  • Community engagement activities.

Why?

• This video will show future students what the Telfer School of Management has to offer. More than just a video competition, this will become a part of our promotional strategy to future students and will enhance student engagement. In essence, it’s a video by students for students.
• The best French and English submissions will each receive one of two $1,000 prizes.

Who?
