 |  STUDENT GOVERNMENT
GRADUATE BUSINESS COUNCIL
The Graduate Business Council (GBC) is the representative student body for both full-time and part-time students in all Schulich degree programs. As the official student-faculty liaison, the GBC is responsible for representing student interests through its representatives on the Schulich School Faculty Council.
The GBC social events such as the getaway weekends in September and February, the Graduate Formal, pub nights and Schulich representation at the MBA Games in January enrich student life at the school.
Aside from social and athletic activities, the GBC serves as the student body’s voice to the faculty and administration. The Council sells business cards and enhances the Schulich image among corporate leaders through corporate sponsorship relationships.
The GBC Executive is elected in February of each year. Collectively, their mandate is to serve the Schulich graduate student community. Those elected are committed to making themselves accessible to students and receptive to suggestions.
In addition to the Executive Council, the GBC Full Council consists of elected representatives. Each MBA 1 full-time section elects one representative for each of five areas of responsibility: academic, corporate sponsorship, social, yearbook and athletic. Elections for these positions are held during class in the second week of the Fall Term as representatives are chosen from each new full-time and part-time sections. Representatives are also elected from each new section during the second week of classes in January of each year.
GBC meetings are usually held every Wednesday night from 5:30 to 6:30. All Schulich students are welcome to attend GBC meetings as working members. After attending three consecutive meetings, such working members (non-elected attendees) are eligible to become voting members of the Council.
For assistance regarding any student-related issues, whether academic or social, students are encouraged to contact the GBC Office directly by calling (416) 736-2100, ext. 66385; fax (416) 736-5314; or e-mail gbc@schulich.yorku.ca. The GBC maintains an open-door policy. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 11:30 am to 1:00 pm and Monday through Thursday 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm, unless otherwise posted. Office number in new building to be determined.

UNDERGRADUATE BUSINESS COUNCIL – “Students Are Our Business”
The mission of the UBC is to optimize the university experience on an academic, professional and social level. The upcoming school year promises to be a great challenge and it is our goal to ensure that it is fun and exciting. We realize that everyone is unique and so we encourage you to get involved in the clubs and organizations that best suit your needs and objectives. Furthermore, in order to improve the quality of clubs that we provide to our student body, communication is critical. In order to facilitate that communication, the UBC is proud to say that we are approachable and understanding with students' concerns.
We have an abundance of extracurricular activities planned for the upcoming academic year. It is these activities that differentiate the Schulich School of Business from the rest of the business schools across Canada. We have many student-run clubs that help promote our school's reputation, abilities, and initiative. We believe that the reason for getting involved in our student clubs is threefold. First, you gain the opportunity to develop professional skills and contacts that will help you succeed in the business world. Second, you get the opportunity to meet older students or students of your own age that can act as mentors on various levels. Finally, getting involved in these clubs is a great way to embark on a friendship that will last you a lifetime! We encourage you to find that balance between academic and social life.
If you have any concerns or questions, the UBC has an open door policy. Students are encouraged to contact the UBC Office directly by calling (416) 736-2100, ext. 33296; fax (416) 650-8086; or e-mail ubc@schulich.yorku.ca.
