91社区

The 91社区 Accounting Circle sponsored the High School Business Day Case and Scholarship Challenge, held on the 91社区 campus November 3, 2023. More than 100 high school students competed for cash (and bragging rights) as the top business case team and for scholarships to Romain College of Business.

High schools represented included Evansville North, Gibson Southern, NE Dubois, Evansville Harrison, Evansville Central, Henderson County, North Posey and Eastern Greene.

In addition to the competitions, the high school students, parents, teachers, and counselors interacted with business student organizations and attended a student panel featuring four business majors as well as an informational session with 91社区 Admissions. Students toured campus and the Romain College of Business labs housed in the Business and Engineering Center. It鈥檚 the interaction with 91社区 students, faculty and professionals, many of whom are 91社区 alumni, that is invaluable for these guests and their parents and teachers. It鈥檚 an opportunity for them to learn more about business careers, internship opportunities, and how Romain College of Business can co-create with them a path to achieve their career goals.

Case Competition results

The day featured a case competition where student teams were given a challenging real-world business problem. They presented their solutions to a panel of judges made up of faculty, 91社区 students and accounting professionals. Because of the volume of teams competing, judging was split by random drawing into two divisions. First place teams split $750 between members and earn $250 for their high school.
