The Fisher Invitational championship trophy has a new home at Tippie.

I’m glad to report that the team from Tippie has claimed victory at the Fisher/Big Ten Case Competition on April 13-14. Kandis Meinders, Annie Leonhart, Adam Plagge, and myself are proud to bring the first place trophy home. Annie won individual awards in both the preliminary and final rounds, and Adam won an individual award in the preliminary round.

This competition uses a live case format involving a number of interactive events. Thankfully we had been prepared by our excellent team of coaches, and we were able to develop a winning strategy and presentation within the 24 hour time limit. We’re proud to have had the opportunity to represent Tippie, and we wish next year’s team luck to build upon our win.
