savvy
Investment savvy brought five students in UVic’s faculty of business entrepreneurship program big returns in more ways than one. Earlier this year they used $5 to start a new venture and run it for 10 days. The students’ business-card sized orientation guide for students earned them $998, the highest return in the class, along with $100 each from the Peter Thomas Innovation Scholarship. Thomas, the founder of Century 21, was on campus to present the awards and announce he’s pledging a further $25,000 to the entrepreneurship program.
