IGNITE Testimonials

“When I went to IGNITE, the draw was the opportunity to mingle with established business people, but I think the purpose is to help students get over the initial fear of networking with the business community. I was worried about not knowing enough about business yet and making a mistake when speaking to someone important. I realized when I went that they didn’t expect me to know everything already—they knew I was a student. And, from my perspective, I could use this opportunity to discover what kinds of competencies they might look for.”

~ Gilbert Eretchabor, Student, Asper School of Business

“The IGNITE dinner was a wonderful experience. I had the opportunity to talk with industry professionals and receive insightful career advice. I also had the chance to meet fellow like-minded students and expand my social network. All students should attend this event at least once!”

~ Joshua Oyeyode, Student, Asper School of Business 

“IGNITE 2024 was a night to remember! Filled with inspiration, networking, and celebration, this dinner was surely an experience that I had to take in prior to graduating from the Asper School of Business! I held off from attending until my final year of studies, and I recently realized that I was missing out. I recommend that all incoming Asper students attend this dinner in their first year. It’s a wonderful opportunity to be welcomed into the Manitoba business community!”
