Peter MacLeod MBA '12


"IBEC's Activator program has been the highlight of my MBA experience at UNB.  It has provided me with not only the knowledge and skills needed to start a business, but also the important contacts that will help me succeed.  The four Activator courses help bridge the gap between theory and practice and the professors give feedback to help hone and perfect a business plan.  I would recommend the Activator program to any students with the entrepreneurial spirit, who are looking for hands on experience in the MBA program".

 "The Activator program has surpassed my expectations by building onto my MBA education. Having no previous entrepreneurial experience, the program allowed me to gain real-life, hands-on experience by working directly with a real start-up company from Fredericton. The hard work will pay off, as the skillset gained throughout my year as an Activator leader will forever be of value in my business career."

Mike Lee, UNB BSE'11"Being part of the Activator Program has exposed me to a world I would not have been able to experience during my studies as an Engineer. The Activator program is ideal if you are interested in a hands-on learning experience on practical subjects."

Meet Bobby Hennessey, UNB BBA' 08

Bobby Hennessey, UNB BBA'08"My time in the Activator program has been by far the most valuable and exciting academic opportunity I've had at UNB. Aside from generating invaluable contacts, discovering useful business skills and having my own mentor, I learned what it's really like working in the high paced business world. This program was designed for creative business students who have an entrepreneurial spirit and the Activator delivered. It was definitely challenging and required an extensive amount of work,  but I now have a taste of what's to come in my professional career."
