HEC Montréal takes 1^st place at the Jeux du Commerce

This year’s edition held online

January 12, 2021

The HEC Montréal delegation that competed in the 33^rd Jeux du Commerce last weekend can be proud not only of taking part in the first virtual edition of this interuniversity competition, but also of winning 1st place overall.

The event, organized by the UQAM École des sciences de la gestion (ESG), was held from January 8 to 10 and brought together over 700 competitors from 11 universities all over eastern Canada. HEC Montréal was represented by 60 Bachelor’s in Business Administration (BBA) students this year. The School’s teams took 1st, 2nd or 3rd place no fewer than 15 times in the different disciplines of the academics, sports, social and participation components.

Our teams turned in excellent performances in all events drawing on their academic knowledge, each time presenting aspects relating to sustainable development, diversity and corporate social responsibility.

The 2021 delegation was co-ordinated by student Kevin Nicholls, of the student competitions committee (CCHEC), with support from Audrey Bond, as well as from Anne Bourhis and Jean-François St-Pierre, of the inter-university competitions department.

They expressed their thanks to the nearly 200 alumni who helped our competitors prepare, throughout the fall term.
