Our Values

Our successes to date could not have be achieved without our thriving subcommittee teams year after year. Here are our core values that persists amongst all portfolios:

• Learn continuously and effectively

  We seek to provide innovative and meaningful experiences for students, adapting to change and committing to ongoing development. We highly encourage you to actively seek ways to improve and find new ways to solve problems.
  
  

• Have a good time

  At DataSoc, it is important to us that every experience here is a constructive and positive one. After every event and every meeting, we want you all to be leaving with a smile and a new friend!
  
  

• Be the best at what you do

  What distinguishes DataSoc members from others, despite having all different areas and expertise? It's the passion that we bring to everything we do. We approach every task with confidence, seize all opportunities and never settle for "acceptable".
  
  

• Take ownership and be transparent

  As the DataSoc team, we celebrate the individual work and achievement of others, but must also be accountable for the tasks to which we have committed and see through what we started.
