JDC West
January 13th - 15th, 2012
In January 2010, 47 students represented the Edwards School of Business at Western Canada's most prestigious undergrad case competition, JDC West. With students competing in 10 different academic cases, a parliamentary style debate, 2 different sports and a social competition, while experiencing the spirit of over 400 other business students, "Team Sasky" represented the U of S well, bringing home second place overall.
