When
Spring 2025 BCOM 314R In-Person Case Competition: “Business Communication”
Our faculty, staff, and students excitedly welcome your engagement with a brand-new sponsor for this spring's Business Communication Case Competition! All upper-division business majors will apply their strategic thinking skills during this in-person case competition to introduce new communication strategies for a select Arizona-based organization. Your unique combination of personal perspective and business experience can be a gift to our students as they vie for top honors in this fun and competitive event.
As a valued evaluator and judge in this signature event, you may opt to enjoy a brief, catered networking lunch just before the competition begins with other business professionals who also volunteer their service to this event. We will of course pay for your on-campus parking in the Park Avenue Garage next to McClelland Hall for the duration of the event (see schedule below). This is a digital-first event, which means we encourage you to bring an electronic device (laptop, phone, or tablet) on which you feel comfortable completing feedback for each team you observe. If you cannot provide your own electronic device, we can provide a limited number for your convenience in evaluating students.
We look forward to seeing you on May 2!
Please sign up by Friday, April 25.
