We are looking for 2nd to 4th year students to round out our 2023/2024 Schulich School of Business Undergraduate Case Competition team!
This team represents Schulich at external case competitions throughout the year. You’ll learn a lot about how to improve your public speaking, develop analytical skills, problem solve under pressure, collaborate to meet stakeholder expectations, and improve your ability to effectively convey strategies in a more structured way to build buy-in.
Students who’ve joined in the past say it has helped them leaps in bounds in interviews as well as prepared them for their careers in ways traditional courses don’t – through as close to real life experience an academic journey can take you! Plus, it doesn’t hurt to be part of a team who consistently places in national and international competitions, right?
