Haskayne 24hr Case Competition – March 8-11, 2012

Dear students,

You are invited to attend the 2012 24hr Haskayne Case Competition in Calgary on Thursday March 08, 2012.

The University of Calgary strives to make this a unique event that gives students an opportunity to engage with real executives facing real problems in real time. The past two events have been a huge success – students indeed worked through the night to find the best solution to a significant and complex problem.

 This year is leverage year, and the organizing team has put together a spectacular event that will be the highlight of the year for competing teams – so don’t miss out!

 Only 2 teams from each school will be allowed to participate so please inform your class president if you think you have a team lined up. The MBA & ECM Programs Office will then assist in the team selection process if there are more than 2 teams interested in participating.

 For more information about this competition and how to register, please visit http://www.ucalgary.ca/mbasociety/casecomp or Vista at the following location:

24/7 Access to Henry Angus Building

Dear students,

We have been informed by our Facilities & Operations team that 24/7 access to the Henry Angus building is now available, with some restrictions. Please make note of the conditions below.

  • Access to the building between 11pm-7am is by key card entry through the doors by the bookstore only.
  • Access to the Robert H. Lee (RHL) Graduate space is via key card access from CA Hall into the corridor (CA Hall is the main hall area where the café is located).
  • Sauder cannot provide 24 hour security for all floors, so 24/7 access is contained to the main floor and basement only  – students are not permitted on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th floors, which means that your student lounges are not available 24/7
  • Graduate students are asked to contain themselves to the RHL Graduate Centre and CA Hall.
  • Students are asked to ensure they have their student key card with them if they are in the building between 11pm-7am.

Please note that building security is a serious matter and if students are found in the off limit areas after hours, security may confiscate their student cards. Please take a leadership role in helping to keep our building safe and ensure that you have vacated your lounge areas by 11pm.
