Debate FOR / AGAINST increasing tuition fees

The campaign for / against the strike has already begun even though the debate on increasing tuition fees seems to escape from students. The debate for / against the increase in tuition between the University of Montreal students aims to enable students to take back the arguments and make visible a debate that is too often happening in a closed circuit (within student associations or in media where people take ownership of the students point of the views).

Students from different student associations would organize it. The sociology students association of University of Montreal felt that they should work on a partnership with the HEC Montreal graduate students associations to give the image of an unbiased debate and get the support from a maximum of other student associations. However, the idea is not to organize a debate between HEC Montreal that would support a position vs. social studies departments that would support the other. The debate is for / against, no matters the student discipline of study.

Media (eg, CISM student radio and the Montreal press) would be invited for the occasion in addition to the large invitation to students and professors from the University of Montreal. The activity would take place in an amphitheater at the University of Montreal. Schedule: in February 2012.

If you would be interested to participate in this activity, please send a note to Jean-Nicolas Denis  (president©hecaemba•org)   before the end of January.

ToastMasters – Next Meeting

Hello Fellow Toastmasters,

I would like to congratulate all of those who took upon themselves to come to the launch of the Toastmasters HEC Montreal MBA & MSc. We were 40 people at least. I received a lot of positive feedback and this encouraged me. The images on the letter are linked to the 2 main speakers.

TM is well spread in Montreal’s companies, here is a list of those who have a TM group inside their walls: CN, ICAO, Future First, Morgan Stanley, Dassault, SAP Labs, Canadair, Ericcson, RBC, KPMG, SNC Lavalin, UQAM, Concordia, McGill, etc. As a member, you can send a request for speaking in their groups and you will be known and notice for your communication skills and, doing so, you’ll change your cold market (people you don’t know) into a warm market (people you know and have a common ground to speak about: TM). Along the way, you’ll also meet someone who knows someone who needs someone exactly like YOU.

Your Student associations agreed to pay a part of the Membership fees for those who are in the MBA, in the MSc or at the Doctorate. We strongly want to challenge you, despite the costs, to come a few times and try it out. It’s a WIN WIN situation. We are at the core of something that could bring strength together that has enormous potential for US all.
