Our Core Values

Value Proposition to Students

Single Threaded Leadership

• Make Project Teams independent and give them greater ownership of the whole process
• Eboard CANNOT hold multiple positions - unsustainable, and should avoid micromanaging
• Co eboard members should be solely responsible of different aspects of the role
• How to separate things like room booking and tech infrastructure needs without too much bureaucracy and ladder climbing
