Students from St. Clair College have achieved a historic victory at the Ontario Colleges Accounting Case Competition, securing both first and second place in the provincial event held on March 28, 2026, at George Brown Polytechnic in Toronto.
The competition required participants to solve complex, real-life business cases on the day of the event. Teams had two hours to prepare their analysis in isolation before presenting their findings to a panel of professional accountants and business leaders, followed by a five-minute question-and-answer session.
The first-place team consisted of Sandy Renaud, Navneet Kaur, and Greg Skaff. The second-place team was comprised of Jeremiah Jedrzejczak, Brent Rollo, and Kaley Bergen. By capturing both top spots, the students outperformed teams from other institutions, including George Brown College and Humber College.
This success marks the first time in the history of the college that its students have occupied both top positions at the annual competition. The teams were supported by faculty coaches Prof. Richard Nadalini, Prof. Mike Malkoun, and Prof. Zak Shaw. Prof. Nadalini has been leading student teams at the event for over a decade, with the college earning previous second-place finishes in 2017, 2024, and 2025.
Sandy Renaud, who serves as the president of the Accounting Association at the college, noted that the achievement was the result of weeks of dedicated practice. For team member Jeremiah Jedrzejczak, the competition was a familiar challenge, as he also represented the school at the event in 2025.
The students are part of the Zekelman School of Business and Information Technology, which operates out of the college’s campuses serving the Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent regions.
