The International Business Club is a pre-professional organization that aims to connect the global business world with the entire UBC student body. With the diverse population of students we have at UBC, we will be able to help students in various faculties to attain the resources and skills that they need to succeed at the international level. In addition, we provide tools for students to gain experience and knowledge in a global business environment through cooperation with internationally active businesses.

LANGUAGE GROUPS

Interested in learning a new language? Want to brush up on an old one? The International Business Club-hosted language groups will provide a casual group conversational setting to allow you to do just that!  Language Groups will begin this year with an amazing kick off event in October!

Currently, the Language Groups offered include French, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, German and Mandarin.

SOCIALS

As a member of our club, you will have dozens of opportunities to meet other students interested in international business. In particular, we will have having various dinner get-togethers as well as an Icebreaker in late October.  Our main social events will be coordinated by six qualified first year representatives.

As a way of welcoming students to the University of British Columbia, we hosted our first social event together with Enterprize Canada.  Entitled “The Sauder Reception,” the first-year meet and greet before the start of the school year drew over 200 first years in all different faculties at UBC.

GLOBAL INK

Global Ink is the official publication of the International Business Club, aimed at providing students with the link to global commerce. Each issue presents up-to-date information on foreign business opportunities, in-depth interviews with cosmopolitan business professionals, and focuses on global business trends. Global ink will equip students the knowledge to succeeding in the competitive flat world by drawing on information from current industry professionals, and sharing personal experiences of students on exchange and co-op placements abroad.

Speaker Series

Speaker Series involves professionals that have worked internationally, as well as professors from various faculties to afford students a diverse perspective on international business in different careers.  Some will be reflecting on important issues, such as sustainability and emerging economics, while others will give advice for those considering international work.

Global Village

Global Village is a food fair and beauty pageant event co-hosted with the Student Olympic Collaborative where students will have the opportunity to experience cuisine from other cultures and learn about traditions and practices through a beauty contest entitled “Miss and Mister UBC International” prepared by the diverse culture clubs at UBC.

World Cities

The World Cities Night is a dinner event where students will interact with two to three speakers and dozens of professionals who have worked in other cities around the world. Highlights of the event include discussions of similarities and differences between major cities, and how to engage with cultures around the world.

Pacific Northwest Economic Conference

The Pacific Northwest Economic Conference is an international, multifaceted experience. It is designed for professionals, governments and students on an unmatched scale to dialogue, to network and to address common issues, challenges and opportunities.

In addition, we are currently working on several collaborative events with other clubs on campus. We will keep you posted over the the school year about these events!
