The Tippie team of Iana Stahov, Wes Harrington, Eric Eckerman, Jared Plotz and Otavio Mazzarolo placed second at the Second Annual ACG Cup in Minneapolis. The students analyzed and presented their recommendations in the M&A case they were given. After the awards ceremony, they dined and networked with members of the Association for Corporate Growth, an investment banking industry association. And they won $600 each!!!
