AC Brings the Thunder to the Ontario Colleges’ Marketing Competition

blog OCMC
For more than three decades, the Ontario Colleges Marketing Competition (OCMC) has been challenging Ontario colleges’ business students to take part in a unique skills competition that tests their marketing mettle in a series of exercises that emulate real-world business challenges. This year the competition was hosted by George Brown College in the heart of downtown Toronto. Over 300 students (16 from Algonquin College) and faculty coaches from 12 colleges in Ontario competed 10 events over the course of last Thursday and Friday.

Algonquin College performed exceptionally well, building upon its reputation as a hub of innovative thinkers. Congrats to all who represented AC so well!
