SGI student spotlight luncheon
Join us for a lunch session featuring inspiring McGill student teams who have participated in global case competitions addressing real-world sustainability and business challenges. This luncheon is a valuable opportunity for participating students to share their experiences, insights, and takeaways with fellow students, while encouraging others to pursue similar hands-on opportunities.
It is one of SGI’s core missions to support students in participating in these competitions by covering registration fees and making these high-impact learning experiences more accessible. These competitions — including ENGCOMM World, McGill International Portfolio Challenge, the Annual Grand Challenge, and Map the System — represent one of SGI’s five core pillars: supporting student participation in competitions both at McGill and on the global stage.
Date: Friday, September 19, 2025
