About Jack Kennedy
Jack Kennedy is a fourth-year student in the Business Technology Management (BTM) program at Wilfrid Laurier University, graduating in 2026. He currently serves as the President of the BTM Students Association (BTMSA) during a unique time in the program's history: its move to the brand new Milton campus this fall.
Jack has made his mark in the BTM community by helping run the BTMSA for two years, acted as a student representative for the Lazaridis School of Business & Economics for the inaugural Intersect 25 event hosted by The Globe and Mail, winning and competing in multiple case competitions throughout his academic career, and becoming a BTM ambassador through marketing initiatives within the university.
With these experiences, he discusses the importance of making the most out of campus life at Laurier, the opportunities students can take to get involved in clubs and associations, and the significance of taking risks to grow personally and professionally. Jack emphasizes that stepping outside your comfort zone, whether through leadership roles, case competitions, or networking opportunities, not only builds valuable skills but also shapes the foundation for long-term career success.
