Who we are YOUniversityHub (aka ‘YOUhub’) is Canada’s most dedicated community to ‘everything university’ Who we are Hi there, We’re Alex and Joel – founders of YOUniversityHub.com (aka ‘YOUhub’). We both LOVED our university experiences, so we wanted to start a site that helps young people make – and get – the most out of their university education. After just three years, YOUhub has grown into Canada’s most dedicated community to ‘everything university’. And we’re still growing. We pride ourselves on being a social enterprise, meaning that our organizational purpose is to maximize improvements in human well-being, rather than maximizing profits. Our advertisers are key to this – they help fund the informative articles read by thousands each week, our interactive community forum, and our scholarship program. Better yet, they see results. Boosts in application numbers and enhanced brand awareness scores are just two outcomes our advertisers are seeing. Let’s get started. Alex & Joel Alex Dorward & Joel Nicholson, Founders
