Events
We are pleased to participate and host a number of events throughout the year that engage our community as well as provide opportunities for Memorial students to learn, expand their networks and share their ideas.
Students
Student challenge events provide exposure to social enterprise concepts and are a critical entry point for students exploring social innovation. They offer students opportunities to explore, grow and develop the teamwork and collaboration skills needed for the 21st century.
- Social Impact-a-thon: Health4All
The Centre for Social Enterprise is hosting a student Social Impact-a-thon (previously known as Student Challenge Events) on the topic of Health Equity.
If you're a student with a passion for helping solve issues related to healthcare - including education, mental health, housing, food insecurity, etc. this event might be for you!
Meet others with similar interests, work on an idea towards health equity, and pitch your idea at the end of the event for cash awards!
