The Associate competition
About the competition
CBE hosts a season of The Associate competition, the University's adaptation of the NBC hit series The Apprentice, each spring term. The competition provides students with a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show their business acumen, while learning invaluable lessons from successful business leaders.
Throughout the course of the competition, area companies present cases to eight graduating seniors, who split into two teams. One candidate is let go from the competition on a
weekly basis until the final boardroom session when "The Associate" is named.
Student projects have included planning round table events, organizing the consolidations of office space and overseeing the development of a marketing plan.
Participating companies have included Bank of America, McCormick and Company, r2Integrated, Sherwin Williams, Target, and UBS Financial Services. |
