				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Better Together is back for fall 2024. The co-curricular event brings together faculty, staff and students, from all disciplines and levels of study, to build entrepreneurial thinking skills. Expect it to get hands on! Together we’ll develop innovative solutions to real challenges on campus and communicate them through a compelling pitch.</p>
<p>Over two days during fall reading break, November 12 and 13, participants will learn about entrepreneurial thinking and how it can be applied to a wide range of scenarios.</p>
<p>“People often hear the word ‘entrepreneurship’ and think about business start-ups,” said Janine Carmichael, faculty specialist in entrepreneurship. “At Better Together, we’re equipping participants with new skills and building a mindset to move ideas to impact. And, we will have a lot of fun doing it while collaborating with new people. Last year, more than 100 faculty, staff and students participated and we can’t wait to bring this experiential learning to more people in 2024.” &nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Benefits for participants</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Learn, practice and be inspired about how to apply entrepreneurial thinking.</li>
<li>Develop solutions to real campus challenges.</li>
<li>Meet new people, enjoy free food!</li>
<li>Students will also receive a gift card to UMSU businesses (GPA&#8217;s, Degrees, IQ&#8217;s, etc.) and update their Experience Record.</li>
</ul>
<p>Registration is open now. For more details and to register, visit&nbsp;<a href="http://www.umanitoba.ca/better-together">Better Together</a></p>
