Student life

The John Molson School of Business has a very large community of student-run clubs and events. The Commerce and Administration Students' Association (CASAJMSB) represents the undergraduate students at John Molson and oversees 16 clubs comprising over 200 student volunteers.[8] The John Molson Graduate Students' Association (JMGSA) represents graduate students.[9]

Student Competitions

Case Competitions

Both undergraduate and graduate students are active participants in international business case competitions. The school also hosts two of its own competitions: the John Molson Undergraduate Case Competition and the John Molson MBA International Case Competition.

Kenneth Woods Portfolio Management Program

A selected group of undergraduate students manage a $5 million endowment portfolio every year as part of the Kenneth Woods Portfolio Management Program (KWPMP).[10] The portfolio was donated by Ken Woods in 2000 for the primary purpose of training undergraduate students in investment management.

Van Berkom Investment Management Program

The Van Berkom Investment Management Program (VBIMP) was established in 2015 after a donation by J. Sebastian van Berkom. Each year, the program's eight manage a portfolio of small capitalized North American equities with a view to achieving above-average returns.[11]

The Goodman Institute of Investment Management

The MBA in Investment Management offered by the Goodman Institute of Investment Management[12] was established in 2001 following a gift from Ned Goodman.[13] The Goodman Institute's MBA in Investment Management Program is the world's only MBA program that fully integrates the curriculum of the CFA Charter into its program. This combined curriculum permits students to study towards two world-recognized designations simultaneously, and is offered in Montreal while providing networking opportunities in Toronto. Classes are given Wednesday evenings and Saturdays to allow students to work full-time while earning the MBA and CFA.

Name origin

John Molson (1763-1836)
Main article: John Molson

The John Molson School of Business is named after businessman John Molson who was an entrepreneur in Canada during the late 18th century and early 19th century after having emigrated from England. Shortly after his arrival, at the age of 23, he founded the Molson Brewing Company, which is North America's oldest brewery.[16]

Concordia University renamed its Faculty of Commerce and Administration after John Molson in November 2000 following a $20 million donation by the Molson family towards the construction of the new John Molson Building.[17]
