U of S Commerce students receive top honours at national awards ceremony
Two U of S College of Commerce students were awarded first place honours at
the Canadian Marketing Association's (CMA) 31st RSVP Awards Gala in Toronto
on November 16th.
Fourth year Marketing students James DeRoo and Robyn Morelli were awarded
first place in the student category of Marketing. More than twenty entries
were submitted in the Marketing category by teams representing universities
and business schools across Canada.
Management and Marketing U of S professor Ayten Forrest accepted the awards
with the winning students. "It was a wonderful opportunity to have our work
judged by senior members of our industry," said Forrest.
The CMA is the largest marketing association in Canada. It has over 800
corporate members supporting over 480,000 jobs and generating more than $51
billion dollars in annual sales through various marketing channels. John
Gustavson, CMA President and CEO said "The quality and number of entries we
received in the 2001 Canadian Marketing Association RSVP Awards program
clearly reflects the ability of marketers to effectively respond to the
rapidly evolving marketplace."
