Since launching QIC in May, Mr. Bavington has worked with students and alumni to help them understand the benefits of teamwork and social skills when added to the core skills necessary for running a successful business.
QIC programs, including the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Summer Innovation Initiative (QSII), have already yielded success including a student-created company that created an iPhone app that lets people share and connect through music and , a Kingston-based company focused on designing leisure and travel apps.
To help inspire, members of the FEAS and QSB tapped into their network of contacts and encouraged lawyers, business strategists and innovators to work with the students on their ideas, many spending a day at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s at no cost to the program.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I met Dean Woodhouse at an alumni function five years ago and my involvement at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s has steadily increased since then. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I realized that I was at my best when I was with the students, staff and faculty, sharing my experiences as a technical innovator and business leader. I was asked to help out with QSII and, by the end of the summer, I was hooked on being here.카지노 게임 컬렉션
