Roles and Responsibilities

The organizing committee is currently in the process of recruiting judges for the upcoming edition of the John Molson Undergraduate Case Competition taking place from Sunday, February 19, 2012 to Saturday, February 25, 2012.

Having enhanced the calibre of the competition, we will be requiring a greater amount of business executives from the community to serve as judges on the following days:

  1. Monday, February 20, 2012
  2. Tuesday, February 21 2012
  3. Wednesday, February 22, 2012
  4. Saturday, February 25, 2012

For the case competition, priority will be given to those business executives who can devote an entire day (the equivalent of four presentations). However, in order to accommodate the judges, we will offer morning sessions and afternoon sessions – with each session consisting of two back-to-back presentations.

Should you fit the profile of a judge, we invite you to become familiar with the roles and responsibilities before registering in our database. If you are ready to fill out the registration form, please click here.

All new judge applications are subject to approval by the Members of the Advisory Board for the John Molson Undergraduate Case Competition.
