Who's new at the Stratford Campus?
This year marks a milestone at the Stratford Campus – we have a full complement of students in every year of our undergraduate program, in addition to ongoing enrollment in our Master's program. We also continue to engage community, industry, and other key stakeholders.

A new face at the Stratford Accelerator Centre
There is a new face in the Stratford Accelerator Centre (AC)! Becka Borody has joined the team as the Manager of Operations. She has recently completed her MBA and brings a strong working background in sales, marketing and the start-up community. A newbie to Stratford, Becka has been busy discovering what the city has to offer, including good coffee, swans, and people interested in entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship.
In her new role, Becka is helping to build out an amazing entrepreneurship program within the Stratford Campus. She hopes to foster collaboration between students, community and AC clients, and to create a networking space for people to develop knowledge, skills and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Students have the opportunity to take their classroom learning and apply it within a entrepreneurial community. Whether it's meeting visiting mentors from the Accelerator Program (who have a breadth of knowledge in financing, marketing, communications, culture, and strategy), or simply bouncing a business idea off someone, the Stratford AC provides a unique ecosystem that brings together likeminded people under one roof. If you've got a question about entrepreneurship, or have a start-up idea, the Stratford AC should be your first stop!
