Seneca 360 pairs students and non-profits

When Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir needed to revamp their website before competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, the Canadian ice dance darlings found an unlikely partner in Seneca.
The Virtue and Moir website was one of 11 pilot projects taken on by
Seneca 360, a new initiative launched recently. It gives not-for-profit organizations access to a broad range of quality services provided by Seneca students and grads and overseen by professors. Its office is run by Catherine Brassard, Co-ordinator, and Professor Peter Moscone, Managing Director (pictured).
