"I love what I'm seeing so far," says Brandon Green, president of a new student group at Camosun College in British Columbia.
That's because the 15 to 20 members of USus are making a difference.
The group is part of USus, a global network of student leaders committed to "using business principles, innovation, and entrepreneurship to make a positive social impact," per a press release from Camosun College's School of Business.
The idea behind USus at Camosun is to "bring together students from a variety of programs and backgrounds to work on social enterprise projects and build leadership, networking, and problem-solving skills," says Steven Rumpel, dean of Camosun's School of Business.
"My hope for USus Camosun is that we make an impact on community and provide another space for students to gain opportunities and learning experiences," says Green, who notes that students from all kinds of programs are involved, from diplomas to bachelor's degrees.
The team is focusing on food insecurity on campus, with its first priority being to understand how students at Camosun experience it, per the press release.
The team is also working with the school's Student Society to ensure students have access to healthy food.
