Over 40 Lang business students traveled to St. Catherine’s earlier this month to compete in the annual JDC Central competition, the largest undergraduate business school competition in Central Canada.

The competition brings in student delegates from schools across Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. The multi-faceted competition spans over three days, with academic cases for eight business disciplines, parliamentary-style debates, sports tournaments, social competitions, and charity contributions.

The Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics has been ranked as one of the top 30 business schools in the world in a new ranking that looks at the positive societal impacts made by business schools.
