BCom students succeed at JDC West

Gustavson School of Business BCom students took top honours in academic case competitions and were first-place finishers in two other significant categories at the annual Jeux De Commerce (JDC) West Business Competition. JDC West is the largest student-run business competition in the West and is a three-day event that took place Jan. 14 and 15 at the University of Alberta. This year, over 500 business students from 11 western universities participated. Gustavson students earned a first for non-profit, a second in human resources and took a third in accounting. The team of 47 students also placed first in participation, which recognizes the efforts of the entire team based on attendance, sportsmanship and citizenship, and they won a first in “social” which resembles an “Amazing Race” style of competition.
