Drucker School Classmates Won 2009 Net Impact Case Competition!

This is a part of the letter from our Dean, Ira Jackson:


I couldn't resist letting you know right away the good news that our Drucker School team won the national NetImpact case competition yesterday at the LEEDS School of Business in Boulder, Colorado. Competing against some 85 other business schools, Drucker beat out the University of North Carolina and the team from MIT for first place honors, the national title, and the $6,000 prize. This NetImpact award is billed as "the premier case format competition built around businesses facing sustainability challenges while succeeding financially." Way to go, Emi (Makino), Tyler (Burrell), Jay (Hinton) and Sarah (Shwald)! You make all of us proud. This is a truly magnificent achievement.

feel proud that although Drucker School is small, our students are outstanding enough to compete with those huge schools. Also, I have classed with all of these classmates, played golf with Tyler, and discussed QM project with Emi. It's a pleasure to work with these brilliant people.

Congratulation.
