Two teams from 秀色短视频鈥檚 School of Business had excellent showings at the recent Inter-Collegiate Business Competition (ICBC) at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario.

One of 秀色短视频鈥檚 teams placed first in the marketing division; a second team came in third in ethics.

秀色短视频鈥檚 case teams competed in a preliminary round in October against dozens of teams from around the world.

The ethics team, made up of Kate Kinsman (fourth-year BBA, accounting specialization) and Harrison Wood (fourth-year BBA, accounting specialization), competed against teams from Calgary University, Concordia University, University of Alberta, University of Vermont, and Saint Mary鈥檚 University.

鈥淣ot only did we have the chance to grow within our particular disciplines, we were given the opportunity to learn from industry professionals in all areas of business,鈥� said Kinsman.
