By fundraising for the JDCC Sprott team you are encouraging the growth of school culture, experiential learning, school representation, and academic excellence. An important aspect of being included in a community is by developing a strong culture of inclusivity and community engagement. A large component of the JDCC competition actually takes place before the event as teams are required to complete volunteer service. This adds a unique component to the competition as it helps promote the school within the Ottawa community while encouraging students to make a positive impact in the community.

Students will also have the opportunity to gain valuable experiential learning throughout their participation in JDCC. The event encourages students to develop solutions to real world business problems in a short time frame. This experience is highly valuable for students to further develop and apply skills learned in the classroom while gaining skills which could help with their future professional careers. This once in a lifetime experience does not only help develop vital business skills as it is also a huge networking experience with other students from across the country.

The funds raised from donors will be strategically put to use in order to ensure our initiative is successful. The allocated funds will be put in place to reduce the costs for students to attend. By doing this we are making the participation in JDCC accessible to all students within the Sprott School of Business. Inclusivity and accessibility is our priority and the use of the funds will help us reach that goal. This approach helps us revive the club and create a thriving academic environment we can celebrate.

Carleton University is known for the diversity of clubs around campus. While this project is aimed at Sprott students, it will benefit all Sprott students to have a chance to interact and develop themselves academically in a competitive environment. JDCC encourages students to increase efforts into their academics, resulting in a more fulfilling university academic experience. As for existing students, utilizing their existing knowledge to solve problems can provide necessary skills and experience to enter the workfield. Overall, this project will greatly benefit Sprott students academic careers, nurture necessary skills for developing their future careers.

A core value of the JDCC event is the community service requirement for each delegate to attend. This will benefit both the Carleton and greater Ottawa communities as Sprott students will showcase their leadership across the city while delivering a positive impact across the city.
