Clubs and Committees within the MBA Association are responsible for enhancing the student experience to the fullest by creating programming outside of everyday classroom life.
Clubs (MBA Association, Net Impact, MBA Games, and MBA Inclusion & Diversity Club) are self-governed and fall under the MBA Association President’s portfolio. They are all funded through MBA Association funds.
Committees fall within a specific MBAA Executive’s portfolio, and the leads are selected by their corresponding Executive. They are funded directly through the MBAA budget.

I enjoyed planning events for all MBA students (part/ full time, fast-tracked, international, etc.) to engage in and get to know each other outside of the classroom setting. I was able to advocate the needs of part-time students to the MBA Department. This role was a great way to meet and get to know other students.

Being on the Executive Team of the 2020-21 UofA Net Impact Chapter was such a rewarding experience! Our team was formed just as COVID-19 was announced, so the year ahead was going to look very different than what we expected. Nonetheless, connecting with my team and the MBA student body turned out to be very successful. We were able to bring virtual programming to the students and connect with members of the Edmonton Professional Chapter in our mandate to bring awareness on what sustainability can look like in the business world. Through this extra-curricular opportunity, I’ve been able to make great connections with my peers and give back to the MBA program. I encourage all current students to get involved with Net Impact as Executives or Members of the UofA Chapter!

Being VP EL was such a challenging but rewarding experience. It was an opportunity for me to dive deeper and exercise my ability to work with different teams, meet multiple stakeholder expectations and represent the UAlberta MBA brand. My biggest takeaway was the importance of respect in relationship building and how having an open mind makes you a better leader.

Wearing multiple hats as the VP of Operations of the MBAA has allowed me to enhance my organizational, time management, conflict management, and leadership skills. I was able to leverage my creative approach and my ‘customer’-first lens to work with and for the students.
