A course outline, designed to teach financial literacy to Saskatchewan high school students, has vaulted a U of R student team to first place at a tough competition.

The business student team of Jonathan Lipoth, Salmaan Moolla, and Frank Nordstrom placed first among 23 Western Canadian universities and colleges at the Enactus Regional Exposition 2018 held in Calgary March 1 and 2.

The team competed in the Capital One Financial Education Challenge category, finishing ahead of second place Simon Fraser University. It’s the first time a U of R team has placed first in this competition. The team was guided by Dr. Lisa Watson, Associate Professor of Marketing at the Paul J. Hill School of Business and the Kenneth Levene Graduate School of Business at the University of Regina.
