SAF Business Review - We need your input!

AFSA is currently exploring the possibility of a student-run business publication and would like your input. The University of Waterloo currently lacks an editorialized long-form business publication. We would like to assess the number of students who would see value in such a publication, either as a platform to express their business views or to gain insight in the dynamic world of business through their fellow peers.

To evaluate interest in this venture, please take some time to complete the following survey. It should only take a minute to complete. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/363M3SX

Thank you for your time and if you have any questions feel free to contact the VP of Education, Ben Ma, at b.ma@uwafsa.ca.
