On May 26, immediately after attending their convocation in Kingston, several members of the EMBA Class of 2013 ran the Ottawa Half Marathon. Runners Rhonda Devine, Jody Seerup, Michael James, Ian Ball and Dan Robillard were supported by fundraising classmates Jessica Hulsman and Rose Harrison. Calling themselves “The Graduates,” the team raised more than $7,000 to benefit the Ottawa Hospital Foundation as part of the Run for a Reason charity initiative. The team wishes to thank all who generously supported them.
