A team of four Commerce students from Mount Allison University’s Ron Joyce Centre for Business Studies won first prize in the Crandall Case Competition. Third-year students Amanda Burns, Lauren MacDonald, Caroline Millette, and Samantha Lebans received a prize of $1,000.
Eight teams from five Atlantic Canadian universities took part in the competition, which has been organized by Crandall University, formerly Atlantic Baptist University, for the past six years. Students from Dalhousie University took second prize and the University of Prince Edward Island placed third.
Mount Allison has taken part in five of the six competitions and received first prize four times. When the Mount Allison students heard about this record, the pressure was on. Particularly as three of the team members, Burns, MacDonald, and Lebans, would be competing in their hometown. The fourth, Millette, is from Sherwood Park, AB.
Dr. Gina Grandy, professor at the Ron Joyce Centre for Business Studies, coached the winning team. The entire team will be returning to Mount Allison next year and would like to continue building on this experience. Read the full story!
