Now this just warms my heart. This just goes to show that people who put down the education garnered at an HBCU don't have a clue as to what they are talking about. I would not exchange the education I received at FAMU for anything in the world. I want to congratulate the students Dominique Drake, Davida Jones, and Mitch Brooks. Job well done and you all have made this FAMUan a very proud person today.
Tallahassee, FL. – Students in Florida A&M University’s (FAMU) School of Business Industry (SBI) won first place at the 13th Annual National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) Case Competition defeating teams from Columbia, University of Chicago, New York University, Penn State and Purdue.
This is the first time FAMU has entered the NBMBAA case competition.
FAMU is the only university in the state of Florida that competed in the national competition. The competition featured 30 teams from across the country, including Case Western Reserve, Brandeis, Emory, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Johns Hopkins, NYU, Penn State, Univ. of Southern California and Ohio State University.
Sponsored by Chrysler, the case study was built around a real business issue dealing with labor relations, hourly wages and health care. Each competing teams were given four weeks to prepare an analysis and presentation. Students presented their solutions and defended their analyses before a panel of senior executives, who evaluate the teams on presentation skills, thoroughness, and creativity evident in the analyses.
"A lot of the schools participate every year, and so there's rivalry between each school, and so each one wants to outdo the other," said Kim Harris Jones, vice president and chief controller at Chrysler. "Schools go away with bragging rights. It's clearly a competition, and everyone puts their best foot forward." (Continue reading here)
