The life of the average commerce student is, as one might typically imagine, a combination of multiple business meetings, intense preparation for a multitude of exams in a variety of subjects, a suit for every day of the week, and a ceaseless nose-‐to-‐the-‐grindstone work ethic. It does not, in general, offer the opportunity to engage in activities that create a truly well-‐rounded individual and, in particular, those of the performing arts. It is rarely a matter of inability, as the qualities that form a great artist so often could form a great businessperson, but commerce students lack a safe space conducive to the needs of their fast-‐paced, jam-‐packed life.

This idea of fostering qualities of excellence through the conduit of the performing arts is the founding motivation behind Queen’s Commerce Performing Artists. Students involved with this organization are able to develop as businesspeople in two overarching ways. Firstly, students are able to gain first-‐hand business experience in marketing, finance, logistics, and general management -‐ acquiring these experiences with a specific niche in the arts management. Secondly, involved students are able to develop broadly applicable soft-‐skills that one simply cannot pick up in any other way. For instance, developing one’s skills as an improv actor would in turn help develop their improvisational skills when faced with having to give a last-‐second presentation to a client and participating in small musical groups helps to develop team-‐based interactional and cooperative techniques.

Now entering our inaugural year, this organization is looking to truly make a change to the landscape of the business community as we know it by fostering a tradition of excellence in a revolutionary way that no other group has yet been able to do. With your help, we look to bring true heart and soul into the world of commerce and create an unparalleled outlet of creative expression and development of business acumen in the next generation of leaders. Thank you for taking the time to consider our proposition. We look forward to discussing further potential for partnership with our organizations.

Sincerely,

Ian Dickinson | Co-‐Chair Antony Discenza | Co-‐Chair

WHAT IS QCPA?

1

Queen’s Commerce Performing Artists is an organization brought to life through the arts-‐driven passion of Commerce students at the Queen’s School of Business.

Artistic extracurricular involvement was once hard to find at the Queen’s School of Business, despite the talents of the student body. There has been a clear demand for an organization that will create opportunities for artistic expression. QCPA fills that demand through a number of initiatives.

QCPA strives to help students foster applicable commerce skills in a creative environment through professional development workshops, managerial positions, and professional networking opportunities. We also aim to use those talents to the benefit of the community by providing musical entertainment for a variety of Commerce Society conferences and other events throughout the year.

While providing a creative outlet for students, QCPA effectively allows students to practice their business skills through their passions.
