When Synod sits as a committee of the whole, no member may speak more than twice on the same subject, except by permission of the chair. 10.

  • Go, Brock Business Team!
    Wednesday, January 11, 1995 Volume 33, Issue 1 Go, Brock Business Team! Brock's business students have established a national reputation as a result of their outstanding performance in the first round of the Intercollegiate Business Competition (ICBC). In cumulative standings, Brock finished in the top five--our best showing ever. The ICBC, dubbed the "Stanley Cup of Undergraduate Business Schools," is conducted annually by host institution Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Brock will send four teams to the final round at Queen's later this month. Teams made up of two to three students were slotted into six categories: Marketing (Paul Morris, Mike Russell); Labor Arbitration (Wendy Martin, Bryan Guilfoil); Management Information Systems (Matt Hillier, Edmund Lau); Finance (Barbara Manchester, Darren Griffith); Accounting (Geoff Ostrow, Steve Campbell); and Business Policy (Geoff Colley, Art Janzen, Dan Botari). Twenty-five to 30 teams competed in each of these categories. In the first round of competition held in October, the teams were sent a case study by mail. Length restrictions and a strict deadline placed great demands and pressure on the participants, who were also managing a full course load. Each team submitted a written report of analYSis and recommendations to be judged by a board of professors and prominent business people. The aim of the competition is to provide the opportunity for students across Canada to exchange ideas, develop new skills and promote their respective schools and programs. Barb Manchester, a finance student in her final year at Brock, finds the competition to be a truly challenging experience. "It was very interesting and has taught us a great deal about our business field by presenting us with a real-life situation and asking us what we would do." When results came in after the first round, Brock teams had made their mark with two first-place finishes and one second­ place finish.
