TOP 100 NEWS.....!?!?!?!?

JMSB's MBA Program has just been ranked among the top 50 Programs in North America and in the top 100 in the world, according to the prestigious Economist Magazine. Note that JMSB is the only school in Quebec that made the top 100 and only 4 Canadian Schools made the cut. According to Alan Hochstein, the Associate Dean, "it's the students who make the school, and it is they who are world class."
Check out these two links from the economist

GDBA Elections....!?!?!?!?!

It’s been a very interesting week attending your classes and getting to meet you all. I can already tell it’s going to be fun year.

The GDBA/GCBA student association is starting up again, and they are searching for people interested in joining. There are currently 3 positions available: VP finance, VP Academic, and VP Admin & Finance. This is an amazing opportunity to get involved with the program, help plan student social event, network with other student associations, and most of all have fun. It even looks great on a CV!

Interested applicants should contact Meg at m_labban@jmsb.concordia.ca

Until next time...
