HEC Montréal students have an opportunity to play an active role in associations related directly to their field of studies and enrich their learning experience along the way. Whether it’s through competitions like the Meloche Monnex Marketing Challenge or the Financial Open, publishing student newspapers or organizing welcome week activities for international students, HEC Montréal’s associations and interest groups offer a wide variety of important activities. They encourage students to set their sights ever higher, and promote initiative, socialization and a sense of belonging within the HEC Montréal community.

Feel free to get involved. Go to the office of the organization that interests you and chat with its members; they’ll tell you how you can join.

Below is a brief overview of each of the associations and their committees, as well as the interest groups. Note that the content of each of the links provided below are the sole responsibility of their authors and the participating associations.
