Net Impact
Marketing is the engine that drives business
forward. It is many disciplines under the same
umbrella brand management, advertising and
communications, marketing research, online
marketing, customer relationship and customer
experience management. It is an essential
component of every industry, whether local or
global, business-to-consumer or
business-to-business retail, high-tech,
entertainment, manufacturing... And to be truly
effective, marketing must be aligned and
intertwined with all other areas of business,
including strategy, finance, and operations.

MBA Softball Club
Volleyball Club
Despite an unimpressive track record in the
previous season, the team represented fearsomely
on the court, and at Thompson house. In the last
season we saw vast improvements in the clubs
level of play, both in individual skills and team
coordination. With your involvement, next season
promises to bring us much deserved respect on the
scoreboard, in addition to the laughs and
camaraderie weve had in the past (not to mention
stress relief and exercise). Games are played on
a weekly basis (for the most part), and the
intramural league runs throughout each term, with
playoffs at the end of each season. McGill also
schedules pick-up Volleyball at the Tomlinson
Fieldhouse starting in September. For those
interested in beach volleyball, Milton Park
offers facilities at an affordable rate very
close to campus.   In the past we have formed
only one Intermediate level intramural team. The
club hopes to grow this in the coming season to
include a Competitive level team, as well as to
participate outside of intramurals to take
advantage of the great facilities McGill has to
offer. This way members will have more options to
participate at an appropriate level of
involvement and caliber of competitive
play.   The expected cost of enrollment is 10 /
semester to cover the intramural registration
fees, however this varies with the size of the
teams and the variety of events members get
involved in. We are looking to expand! If
interested, please dont hesitate to contact me
by email with your questions and/or
suggestions                Executive Contact
