91探花

A team from 91探花鈥檚 School of Business took first place at the Saint Mary鈥檚 Business Case Competition, held March 4 and 5 at the Sobey School of Business in Halifax. The students had just 18 hours to read, analyze, strategize, and come up with a solution to a business case they had never seen before. Other teams were from Acadia University, Dalhousie University, St. Francis Xavier University, and Saint Mary鈥檚 University.

The winning case team was made up of third-year School of Business students Hannah Dawson and Cullen Mullally. Dawson and Mullally presented to a panel of judges, which included representatives from the organization on which the case was based, the Anglican Foundation of Canada.

鈥淓xecutive director Dr. Judy Rois flew to the competition, giving us the opportunity to directly present our solutions for the Anglican Foundation of Canada and left extremely enthusiastic about our ideas for her foundation moving forward,鈥� said Mullally.

Mullally and Dawson, along with two other team members, competed in September at the Atlantic Schools of Business Case Competition and won first place. They also competed together at Concordia University鈥檚 John Molson School of Business Undergraduate Case Competition in February, where they made the final round.

鈥淭his has been a phenomenal season for our case team, achieving a top three finish in almost every competition we competed in,鈥� said case coach Mary Whitrow. 鈥淚t is exciting to cap off the year with another win.鈥�

鈥淐ongratulations to Hannah and Cullen on their showing,鈥� said Dr. Juergen Krause, Dean of the 91探花 School of Business. 鈥淭heir results are a testament to the strength of our students and the continuous strengthening of our case competition program here at 91探花.鈥�
