Ernst & Young Competition - Your World, Your Vision
We all seek to make a difference. If you're looking for ways to achieve your potential, we can help. This year, Ernst & Young is proud to announce Your world, your vision—a competition that challenges student teams to create a proposal for an initiative that has a significant impact on their community. The winning teams will receive up to $10,000 toward executing their proposal. Regardless of who wins, everyone involved will have the opportunity to work with each other, with Ernst & Young, and to achieve their vision of making a difference in their community.
How you define your community is up to you, but we see opportunities for community impact in three major areas: education, the environment and entrepreneurship. As a participant, you can focus creativity on any one of these areas to strengthen their community in the way that is most important to you. Maybe it's instituting a corporate mentorship program for underserved schools, or maybe it's a scholarship honoring young entrepreneurs for their ingenuity. Or maybe it's something completely different. The more creative and sustainable the solution, the better.
How does it work? We're soliciting one entry per school, so student teams should contact Courtney Jolicoeur to learn more (courtney.jolicoeur@ey.com).
How can you learn more? There will be an information session held November 4th on campus. RSVP to courtney.jolicoeur@ey.com for specific location.
