HEC Montréal victorious at the 2019 Jeux du commerce

January 9, 2019

The HEC Montréal delegation achieved a clear victory at the 2019 Jeux du commerce, held from January 3 to 6 on the Lévis campus of the Université du Québec à Rimouski (UQAR).

This was the 13th time in 31 years that the School has emerged on top overall in the Jeux du commerce, once again taking the Patrice-Bourbonnais trophy.

The interuniversity competition brought together 1,200 participants from 13 universities in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick. The School’s delegation was made up of 84 students in the Bachelor’s in Business Administration (BBA) program, co-ordinated by Mika Beauchamp and with Professor René Gendreau as head for the academic events.

The students were supported by a coaching team including Anne Bourhis, Jérôme Brun-Picard, René Gendreau, Stéphanie Leverdier, Jean-François St-Pierre and Anne-Frédérique Tremblay.

The heads of the delegation thanked the hundred or so alumni professionals, professors and friends of the School who came out to support them during their preparations this fall. They also thanked the Leadership Fund and the Association des diplômés for their financial support.
