The GBC Constitution

The GBC Constitution

The Graduate Business Council (GBC) is the student elected group representing all students enrolled in the master’s programs at Rotman. Download the Graduate Business Council’s Constitution: GBC Constitution

The GBC shall operate as an independent entity within the University of Toronto (“University”) and shall be subject to the values and policies thereof. In the event of a contradiction between University policies and the GBC Constitution, the relevant GBC Constitution provisions that are inconsistent with the provisions of the University’s policies are, to the extent of the inconsistency, of no force or effect (See Article IX, Section 1 of this Constitution).

Our Mission

1. Represent the interests of
all master’s students at Rotman as a whole

This includes Full-Time MBA, Morning and Evening MBA, Master of Finance, Master of Financial Risk Management, and Master of Management Analytics programs.

2. Ensure exceptional career development, academic, and social experience at Rotman

By serving as the communication bridge between Rotman student leaders, administration, and faculty.

3. Foster a
strong sense of
community and pride

Within and beyond Rotman, ensuring that everyone feels seen and included regardless of their background.

Our Value

We are passionate about creating a better and stronger Rotman community in which students are happy and proud to be a part of. We work with you, our student peers, to bring out the best of what the school has to offer by voicing your ideas and concerns to the administration, faculty, school clubs, or other organizations. We are excited to get to know you and hear your thoughts on how we can improve the quality of life for students at our school.​

Funding

GBC receives most of its funding from the University of Toronto Head Grant (~108k), and from the Graduate Student Union Grant (~15k), with both grants being ultimately sourced from student tuition. Thus, GBC funding is the property of the Rotman master’s student body, which the GBC administers on its behalf. Members of the GBC shall make best efforts to minimize the cost of this administration and to maximize the value derived by the student body.​
