Case Competition
As part of the event, prospective candidates will participate in a live case competition on Friday, November 7 presented and judged by the Washburn Center for Children. In advance, Professor Toh asks that you familiarize yourself with a different case; please expect these materials to be emailed to you on November 3. Other than familiarizing yourself with the case, no prior case competition experience is necessary, or expected. This is your opportunity to have fun, learn, and begin your MBA program already prepared with case competition experience!
Guests
We understand the importance of including family when making an important decision to go back to school full-time. We look forward to welcoming your spouse or partner for the weekend.
