MBA Games

Now that we have had a full week intensive classes, on negotiations, an all around interesting course and good way to ease back into school after the holidays, a few members of our class decided to go to Quebec city to attend the MBA Games. This was the first time Rotman has attended in a few years, and I believe we put in a good showing. There is lots of room for improvement and hope that another contingent goes next year to build tradition.
The games consist of Academics, Athletics and Spirit components, with several events in each, and provide a fantastic bonding experience. While there is lots of opportunity to meet other students from different Canadian MBA Programs, I most enjoyed doing something that was all fun & games with my classmates.
The intensity and rigorous demands of the MBA Program at Rotman, mean that you will spend at lot of time at school and get to hang out with your classmates in the library, however this was a rare opportunity to spend a full 72 hours not focusing on school but rather on fun!
The one thing I recommend to future coordinators is to plan further ahead! A 9 hour bus drive is not fun, anyway you slice it!
This week is recruiting week and applications are mostly in, with interviews coming shortly! Will try to update more frequently once Q3 kicks off next week.
