On Sept. 14, the Bishop’s University Commerce Society (BUCS) held its “Fun in the Sun” event, marking the first BUCS event of the school year. Fun in the Sun is an event with the goal of connecting new business students to the Williams School of Business (WSB) and helping incoming students understand how BUCS and the WSB work, along with creating a casual environment to connect peers within the WSB.

Fun in the Sun was organized by the BUCS Vice President of Engagement, Mika Rohac, with support from the BUCS team to make everything run smoothly. The event showcased a variety of activities, including ladder toss, corn hole, throwing a baseball to knock over cans, and jellybean guessing for a Doolittle’s gift card. There were also energy drinks provided by the BUCS sponsor, Guru.

BUCS Director of External Affairs, Jake Stevens, liked “when first years come with no clue [about BUCS] and leave a little more educated on BUCS.” It was also important to him to spread awareness and introduce new people to what BUCS has to offer.

Business students also had the opportunity to speak with an academic advisor to learn more about course offerings and have any academic questions answered. The Jeux du Commerce Central (JDCC) was also present to recruit business students interested in competing in case competitions. Gabrielle Mazeran, captain of JDCC, enjoyed having the opportunity to talk to people in person this year. She mentioned that recruiting went well, with a greater number of people signing up than anticipated.

The BUCS office is located in Hamilton 310. Everyone is invited to drop by anytime to learn more about BUCS or just grab a free Guru.
