Phil Libinn, CEO of Evernote, once said “There’s lots of bad reasons to start a company. But there’s only one good, legitimate reason, and I think you know what it is: it’s to change the world.” This quote encapsulates the core idea of entrepreneurship which is to change this world that we live in to make it a better place by finding innovative solutions to problems big and small that have plagued our species.

By Raffles ODAC ’17

Brought together by a thirst for adventure. Bound together as a family. ODAC may not particularly develop better sportsmen, musicians, or artists; instead, it nurtures individuals to better respect themselves, others and the environment.

Most of all, ODAC gives you a home – a family bonded by a common love for adventure and challenge, a reprieve from the high-stress environment of social and academic commitments, and peaceful tranquility in the great outdoors.
