</gallery> The JMUCC, (John Molson Undergraduate Case Competition), is an international case competition hosted annually by Concordia University's John Molson School of Business. Until 2008, the competition was know as UNCC (Undergraduate National Case Competition). For the 2009 iteration, the organizing body embarked on expanding the breadth and reach of the event. In its first attempt at establishing an international presence, the school played host to 20 schools from nine countries.

JMUCC has strived to make its competition truly unique by focusing on the format of the event. While most case competitions embody either a three hour intensive format, or a 24+ hour research focused structure, JMUCC combines both of these, and in so doing gives its participants the most comprehensive experience possible. The competition, which spans the length of a week, involves a round-robin portion made up of three three-hour competitions so that each team within a group of four teams has a chance to compete head-to-head. The cases presented focus on business strategy, thus requiring competence within each of the primary disciplines covered within business schools. Upon completion of this segment teams are given a break for a day so as to tour Montreal and visit its various landmarks. The fallowing day, teams are given the 24 hour case. This case is always a live case, and displays the teams' ability to adapt to the current circumstances faced by firms in the business community.

The JMUCC is held on a yearly basis, during the month of February, and is made possible through the support of Concordia University and many generous corporate sponsors. We would like the thank the supporters of the program, wish the best of luck to previous competitors, and extend a warm welcome to those attending the 2010 JMUCC, held from February 21 - February 27.
