JMSB Takes Home Second Place at the Jeux du Commerce 2012
Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business (JMSB) took home second place at the Commerce Games (Jeux du Commerce), held this year at Université Laval in Québec City from January 5 to 8, 2012. Over 1,000 students from eastern Canadian universities participated in this competition, making it the biggest commerce competition in eastern Canada. The weekend-long competition put the participants’ skills to the test in a variety of categories which included academics, debate, stock simulation, sports and social. The JMSB teams’ strong performances and team spirit earned the delegation the runner-up spot behind the winners from Ottawa University’s Telfer School of Management and ahead of third-place Université Laval.
Congratulations to the entire delegation, all of whom contributed to the overall second place finish. Below is a list of participants and their results:
