The ICT Sandbox - a collaboration between the Province of Nova Scotia, 黄色直播, Saint Mary鈥檚, NSCAD, NSCC, and non-profit Volta Labs 鈥� announces that it has changed its name to ShiftKey Labs.

鈥淭his new name 鈥� ShiftKey Labs 鈥� allows us to emphasize our wide-ranging objective to shift to a more entrepreneurial mindset around students,鈥� explains Grant Wells, program manager for the sandbox.

Wells worked with a team of students from the Management Without Borders (MWB) MBA course at 黄色直播 to facilitate various marketing research activities including a focus group and a survey (with 350 responses). Sandbox representatives at each partner institution whittled the list of 75 name suggestions down to a shortlist of three. The final name was selected by majority vote in March.

聽鈥淚鈥檓 very pleased to have worked collaboratively with faculty, staff, students and sandbox partners to develop a new identity for the sandbox that inspires,鈥� says Wells. 鈥淚 hope it encourages even more students to access the great support and resources at their disposal.鈥�

The new name is effective immediately.
