Capstone Cup Finals
Watch the final four teams face off!
Employers are invited to attend, watch the top four teams compete, network and recruit CBA graduates. A limited number of Partner Sponsorships are available during this event.
The Challenge
Students are placed in the role of a consulting firm and asked to analyze and develop recommendations to a complex business problem.
Working under pressure, student teams have 10 days to digest a complex business situation, develop a creative and practical solution, and build a presentation that incorporates their analyses and recommendations.
Critical thinking and teamwork permeate every part of the competition.
