Dear students,
You are invited to attend the 2012 24hr Haskayne Case Competition in Calgary on Thursday March 08, 2012.
The University of Calgary strives to make this a unique event that gives students an opportunity to engage with real executives facing real problems in real time. The past two events have been a huge success – students indeed worked through the night to find the best solution to a significant and complex problem.
This year is leverage year, and the organizing team has put together a spectacular event that will be the highlight of the year for competing teams – so don’t miss out!
Only 2 teams from each school will be allowed to participate so please inform your class president if you think you have a team lined up. The MBA & ECM Programs Office will then assist in the team selection process if there are more than 2 teams interested in participating.
For more information about this competition and how to register, please visit http://www.ucalgary.ca/mbasociety/casecomp or Vista at the following location:
