AEOSA: Advanced Entry Opportunity Student Association

Who are we?
The AEOSA is a USC approved student organization created exclusively for AEOs and run by AEOs with the support of the HBAA (Honours Business Administration Association) and the Richard Ivey School of Business.

The 2009-2010 school year involves 12 talented executive members whose goal is to make the first two years before Ivey an absolutely amazing experience for AEO1s and AEO2s.

What do we provide?
A variety of programs are consistently run throughout the year, ranging from review sessions, business conferences/workshops, socials, intramural sports teams and more.

Put simply: we provide you the academic, extracurricular and social tools to be successful in your journey towards Ivey. The first year journey yields some obstacles along way, to which we say: "Pish-posh, we've got you covered!"

What does this have to do with Ivey?
In addition to providing you with leadership opportunities, extracurricular activities and academic support, by participating in certain AEOSA events you are eligible to win awards and gain member statuses that are recognized by Ivey. This is especially helpful for your First Year and Second Year Activity Report.

How do I sign up?
If you have been pre-accepted (deemed an AEO), you are automatically a member of the AEOSA. The membership provides you with a membership card and the opportunity to participate in all AEOSA events.

Both AEO1s and AEO2s can apply for committee positions. For first year AEOs, this will help you obtain even greater leadership roles in your second year.
