Ryerson MBA

The Ryerson MBA was a hit among the competition at the 2010 MBA Games hosted by Laval University in Quebec City.  The team of forty students, which wore red and white scarves sponsored by Scotia Bank, put on an excellent performance winning the opening night Spirit competition and placing second  in the Corporate Social Responsibility competition.

Associate Dean, Dr. Wendy Cukier who was present to cheer the teams on noted “It was obvious in the CSR competition that the judges were impressed with the team’s analysis and innovative solution. I was really proud of how well our students performed. Their hard work and team spirit help build our brand and the red and white Ted Rogers and Scotia Bank scarves were a big hit with the other students.”

The team members, led by captain Elizabeth Moyer, were also very pleased with their results.  “We are more than pleased with the results! This is the third year in a row that we’ve managed to win one of the competitions in the games. All of our hard work and practice has truly paid off” said Moyer. 

Many individuals, including Head Coach and Director of Graduate Students, Dr. Dale Carl, devoted countless hours to coaching the team.  Honourable mentions are owed to Elizabeth Moyer, Team Captain and Supply Chain Management Lead; Dr. Jim Tiessen, Strategy Coach; Marty Beecroft, Choreographer; Will Davis, Sports Lead; Nicole Sleiman and Darren Scott, Supporting Sports Leads; Jane Saber and Catherine Chow, Marketing Coaches; Adriano Valentini, CSR Lead; Leith Higdon, Marketing Lead; Aubrey Greenberg, Strategy Lead; and Tom McLaughlin, Financial Simulation Lead.

This is the fourth consecutive year that the Ryerson MBA program, which launched in 2006, has sent a team to the games - a competition which brings together more than 600 students from MBA schools across Canada.  In 2009 the Ryerson team placed 1^st in the academic portion of the competition and in 2008 were named the National Champions.
