U of S Students Bring Home Medals From Prestigious I.C.B.C. Competition

University of Saskatchewan teams medaled at the Inter-Collegiate Business
Competition (I.C.B.C.) held January 8-11 at Queen's University.

I.C.B.C. is Canada's oldest and largest undergraduate business case
competition attracting top business students from across the nation and
beyond. Competitors participated in preliminary rounds throughout the fall
for the chance to compete in the final rounds last weekend in which the U of
S teams placed second in the Business Policy Event and third in the Ethics
Event.

Business Policy team members from the College of Commerce included: Amanda
Walsh, Aaron Zatylny, and Sholeh Cummings. Ethics team members included:
Ryan Plewis and Mark Savenkoff. College of Commerce faculty member, Ayten
Archer supervised the two teams and accompanied them to Kingston.

"We are very proud of our students. They serve as excellent ambassadors for
the College, the University, our city and our province," said Archer. "The
quality of the programs we offer here at the U of S is reinforced through
awards such as I.C.B.C and allows us to continue recruiting the best and
brightest students."

"This recognition shows that the University of Saskatchewan is committed to
high standards and that our students benefit immensely from the high-quality
teaching and outstanding experience we provide to them," said Commerce Dean,
Lynne Pearson.
