UC is proud of its spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. Our alumni are testament to our UC culture of ‘problem solving, creativity and kiwi ‘No 8 wire’ mentality. It’s part of our DNA and we love celebrating our alumni success.
More and more of our alumni and current students are keen to explore ways to enable positive change in the world through the development of a product or a business and sometimes this results in financial success.
We are inviting our entrepreneurial alumni to celebrate their achievements by partnering with the University to grow more great change in the world through the UC FoundX Pledge.
The UC FoundX Pledge is the University of Canterbury’s own version of a Founders Pledge and is a loyalty programme designed to strengthen the connection between successful UC Alumni and entrepreneurial students at the University. In the same way that the UC Partner’s In Excellence programme has encouraged people to leave a legacy to UC in their will and to be celebrated in their lifetime, the UC FoundX pledge programme aims to encourage UC Alumni entrepreneurs to pledge to support the next generation of innovative and entrepreneurial students.
