Lang business students started the year off strong with another successful performance at JDC Central (JDCC), the largest undergraduate business school competition in Central Canada.

Thirty-three of Lang’s top students competed in the competition, which brings over 600 student delegates together from Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes. This year’s event was held virtually and featured competitions for academic cases in 8 business disciplines, parliamentary-style debates, eSports tournaments, social competitions, and charity contributions.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Lang’s largest winter semester recruitment event will return this week with over 26 employers registered to meet and network with Lang business students. Although the Commerce Job Expo will take place virtually this year, the online setting will still provide students with the opportunity to network with employers and make one-on-one connections.

When the COVID-19 pandemic first brought the world to its knees in March 2020, incidents of panic buying began to make headlines around the globe. From Brazil to India, hygiene products and grocery staples flew off shelves in record time.
