Universal Case Competition

Initially, the Universal Case Competition was developed for the CAPS510 Capstone Case Competition Course as a platform for the graduate students to practice their newly learned skills in coaching in effective speaking. As we needed participants to get this case competition going, the undergraduates were invited to participate. And that gave the graduate students the opportunity to practice their coaching skills, while the participants competed in a live case competition. That was how it all started, simply by chance.

Best Overall Team Spring 2016

So, since the first PreMasters Program cohort, we have successfully organized and completed a series of four Universal Case Competition. Come this summer, Fraser International College will again be hosting the fifth Universal Case Competition but with a slight change in management. From the initial beginning, we had wanted the Universal Case Competition program to be managed and owned by students, so the change was in the plans.

With a new organizing structure in place, the Universal Case Competition is now a program managed entirely by students through a project manager and a team of volunteers. Overseeing and supporting the program are a faculty member acting as Program Director and a staff member who is the Student Success Manager of FIC. Together, we will have many more Universal Case Competition.
