Cases and Competitions

Our students excel at organizing MBA conferences and competitions that engage, challenge, and deepen understanding of critical issues facing business and society. These events attract wide interest and participation by leading experts and emerging entrepreneurs.

Students travel to compete in energy, real estate, finance, innovation, and leadership challenges against other business schools, often impressing judges by reflecting our Defining Leadership Principles in their work.
