Shawn W. McNaughton
When I started
my quest to further my business knowledge at the University of Northern British
Columbia, DVD’s did not exist, cellular phones were hard to come by, and a 20
megabyte program was almost unheard of. Who
would have thought that hundreds of millions of people would be connected to the
Internet? Obviously somebody did.
Now, five years
later, I have learned to appreciate the world for what it is; a giant realm of
opportunities. Those that realize a need early and are willing to put in the
effort, will succeed.
As a recent
marketing and finance graduate, I am continuously looking for those new and
exciting opportunities. I am the
founder and manager of UNBC’s men’s and women’s soccer teams.
I am also a founding member of the Athletic Advisory Committee at the
University, which attempts to give direction for developing athletes and their
teams at the University.
As
an active member of the Business Society at UNBC, I have represented UNBC at the
Western Canada Business Games and at the UBC Commerce Roundtable.
