DeGroote Q&A

 
Members of DeGroote Commerce Society,

Questions about your education? Concerns about the program? Curious as to WHY 2nd Year Midterms exist on weekends? What happened to those first year commerce classes? Why do I need to take summer school to be a professional accountant?
Well now is the chance for some answers! Also, come find out about the CRITICAL changes taking place within the business school and how you'll be affected!

We've got Dean Bates, Nick Bontis, CBCD and the APO on hand to answer any and all of your questions!

Also, find out what the DCS has in store for the rest of the semester so you don't miss out on what's happening!

Wednesday Jan 13th @ 5:30 pm | COMMERCE LOUNGE
*FREE VAN HOUTTE HOT CHOCOLATE AND COFFEE*

Why doesn't this contain the information about the separate sessions for 1st & 2nd years, and 3rd & 4th years? Has that changed?

Thanks for the question,

Yes it has - due to the fact of some unforeseen circumstances. Which is why we decided to post on Macinsiders and spread the information on our website tonight rather than use our traditional all-Degroote emails - as they take too long to get through administration.

We will try to make sure that all questions are answered within our timeframe in an efficient and effective manner.

Kevin S, sniderj all say thanks to james2255 for this post.

I remember the good old days when the DCS, DAA, and all other DeGroote clubs were allowed to send e-mails to students with minimal scrutiny. Oh well...

Is it safe for me to assume, since we haven't heard anything about this meeting, that the DCS's claim that our lives were about to change was just a bit of an exaggeration?

We will be releasing a press release with the results as well as additonal annoucements that came from our Q&A session shortly. We hope these comments will be revelant to students as they will summarize the direct responses made from questions that were asked to DeGroote's adminstration.

Please look forward to reviewing it on http://www.degrootecommerce. ca

Thanks,
James
