Alums Invited to Net Impact Case Competition on April 7th

PNP alums are invited to attend the 13th Annual Net Impact Case Competition:


Monday, April 7th
3:30 - 9:00 p.m.
(Alums are invited to attend between 6:15 and 9:00)

The Case Competition is a unique experience that exposes students in the Boston University MBA program to the impact of corporate social responsibility on business today. It highlights the growing influence of the triple bottom line and how companies have effectively used it to achieve social sustainability.


Nine student teams of 3-4 students will participate in the competition. After receiving a case study focused on corporate social responsibility, each team will present their proposal before a group of judges selected from this year's sponsors, business partners and school faculty. The presentations will be followed by a 5-minute question and answer session. Judges will select the three best presentations and finalists will present in a final round in front of all judges and students. Prizes will be awarded based on the best case analysis. Innovation, creativity and feasibility are some of the key criteria for a winning presentation.


Cash prizes of $1500, $500 and $250 will be awarded.
This year's sponsors include Cone, State Street, TJX, Watson Wyatt and Wainwright Bank. Jonathan Rosenthal, founder of Equal Exchange and Oke USA will be the keynote speaker appearing at 6:30pm. All alumni and friends are invited to the keynote address and following reception.


There is no cost to attend. Please email Helen Wong at wongh@bu.edu for more information or if you plan to attend.
