Congratulations to students in the JMSB, who have been distinguishing themselves in competitions recently.
Four teams earned a silver medal in the seventh annual Human Resources Symposium hosted by the Université de Sherbrooke.
In another competition, the CIBER Case Challenge held by Ohio State University, Jenviev Azzolin, Christian Bonneau, Matthew Fishman and Elissa Morrissette earned second place. The teams were given 24 hours to research, analyze and solve a case reflecting a current international business problem.
Kudos to the Graduate Diploma in Chartered Accountancy students who wrote the tough UFE (uniform final exam) set by the Order of Chartered Accountants of Quebec.
Ninety-five JMSB students passed the UFE this year; they constitute 20 per cent of Quebec’s new CAs.
The pass rate for first-time writers at Concordia was 82 per cent, exceeding the national first-time pass rate of 79 per cent.
David Charles Nayer earned the CICA Gold Medal and the cash prize for highest standing in Quebec and Jeffrey Cochrane made the Honour Roll.
