Experiential learning was the highlight of my MBA. Case competitions exposed

the intricacies of a wide range of industries and inspired me to pursue a career in

sustainable investing. Many opportunities and important insights arose out of my involvement and I feel privileged to be a

part of the JMSB community.

Get involved as an organizer or compete against the world’s very best teams. Open to top business schools worldwide, the John Molson MBA International Case Competition is recognized as the largest case competition of its kind. Our annual, not-for-profit event welcomes 36 teams from universities across the globe for a week-long competition at the start of January and is organized by a team of MBA students.

As part of the John Molson International Case Competition, I gained access to incredible mentorship from a board of

directors composed of C-Level executives. Their advice and outlook on the challenges we faced as a team had a huge impact on my professional development. It was also through ICC that I built my strongest and

most lasting friendships in the MBA.
