BCom students take five podiums at the 2006 Jeux du Commerce
The Desautels Faculty of Management Bachelor of Commerce students took five top three finishes at the 18th edition of the Jeux du Commerce, held at Université Laval in Quebec City from January 6 to 9.
Over 1,000 students from ten Quebec universities, as well as Ottawa and Moncton, attended this inter-university competition. The event included academic competitions that allow students to apply academic knowledge to real-life situations, network with students from different universities, and connect with the business world. Sports and social competitions were also part of the event. McGill students' great performance was rewarded by the podium positions.
