A Gala Opening to MGA Games 2008

The MBA Games 2008 kicked off with a wonderful introduction ceremony by all the participating 14 business schools* around Canada. But more than the introduction it was the cheering that was noteworthy. Each team brought with it all sorts of props to cheer their team/business-school-be it drums, clap-makers, cow-bells. The atmosphere was full of fun, energy and thrill.

After the introduction event, there was a small social event at a nearby pub. The place presented an opportunity to network and make contacts with students from universities around Canada. (Business cards was one essential item on everyone's 'what to carry to MBA Games' list!)

The second day is the most jam packed one with many academic and athletic events happening.

The host school has done a great job in organizing the huge event and their efforts seem to be falling into place!

Good Luck to all the participating teams!
