BUGSS Dinner is a fantastic Success

By Carolynne Burkholder

BUGSS, the Business Undergraduate Student
Society states on their website that they are “com-
mitted to providing UNBC students with an excel-
lent source of educational and social events, that
will help you enjoy your time at school while
improving your professional character.”

The annual Business Dinner is an event that
proves that BUGSS is fulfilling its mandate to
UNBC Business students. The Sixth Annual
BUGSS Business Dinner was held on Thursday,

Tired of

February 12, 2004 at the Coast in of the North.
This event has a history of being very well attend-
ed. The attendance seems to increase every year,
this year being no exception as almost 200 students
attended, along with ten professors from the
Business Department, and forty business people
from the community of Prince George.

One of the main goals of Austin Nairn, a
Business and Marketing student, during his term as
BUGSS President was “making this year’s Business
Dinner one which is not soon forgotten”. Nairn
believes that this event is an excellent opportunity

for students within the Faculty of Business, as it
both provides an opportunity to meet with business
people from the community and get feedback and
insider knowledge about the specific career fields
students are interested in pursuing, as well it allows
students to network and build contacts.

Nairn, and BUGSS Vice President Rinku Bhatti
encourage all students pursuing an education in
Commerce to come out to next years Business
Dinner, as this year’s event was an overwhelming
success.
