Matthew Young, Competition Coordinator
I am currently an undergraduate student in the Bachelor of Commerce MEIF program. I am in the pursuit of a CA designation here at Guelph. Having participated in the Junior Achievement program for three years I have grown to appreciate the struggle of the entrepreneurial spirit through holding Vice President positions and even being part of a company that won, “Junior Achievement Company of the Year”. I have also participated in DECA, I feel that future students will benefit from the knowledge gained from such experiences that just cannot be taught in a standard class format. I hope to help students in their academic studies as well as foster a level of learning outside the classroom that will lead to the growth of Guelph as a prominent business school.

I look forward to organizing review and tutoring sessions for all students to benefit from this coming year
