Product and Service Management Club, commonly known as the PSM Club is a bridge between the students and the product industry. In collaboration with UBC’s esteemed faculty, alumni, and the career center, the club aims to enhance exposure to the business community through a series of speaker events, company tours, case competitions, workshops, and networking events.
In the past, the PSM club has invited guest speakers from companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Hootsuite, Lululemon, Grammarly, and many more, who have taken sessions with the cohort members imparting immense knowledge about Product Management and Marketing. The topics of these sessions have ranged from understanding what a typical day looks like for a product manager or a marketer to preparing for internships and full-time jobs.
Mission: To support the cohort by 1) building a strong network within the product community and 2) helping understand the roles of Product Management and Marketing.
To become a part of the club, there is no additional step required. Being a Sauder student automatically enrolls you to be a club member.
