Release Date : March 26, 2011

Congratulations to our Edwards Team, consisting of students Kristin Foy, Lisa Lueken, and Shawna McKeil, coached by Dr. Dionne Pohler, who reached the finals for the second straight year in the Excalibur Human Resources Competition, held in Montreal, QC. This is the second year in which the Edwards School of Business has competed in this competition, and there were 27 teams from universities across Canada, in contention. By reaching the finals (seven teams make the finals), the Edwards team finished ahead of twenty other HR teams, including teams from the Universities of British Columbia, Calgary, Laval, Manitoba, and Montreal, as  well as Brock, McGill, and York Universities. The winner was a team from the Université de Québec in Montréal.

The Department of Human Relations & Organizational Behaviour would like to extend special thanks to the Saskatchewan Association of Human Resource Professionals and the Edwards School of Business for sponsoring the team to attend the competition.
