This fall, MCE has already connected with 400+ students through classroom presentations across Memorial University! 🎉

We introduced students to MCE and shared opportunities to get involved, collaborate, explore problem-solving, develop ideas, and learn more about entrepreneurship.

A big thank you to the Professors who gave us the opportunity to engage with their students, and to our MCE Faculty Ambassadors who joined Afia, our Program Coordinator, in these conversations.

They’ve already been busy supporting classroom presentations and campus activation booths, helping more students discover ways to get involved with MCE.

A big thank you to all MCE Ambassadors for helping us bring MCE closer to the student community!
