First Round FIC Universal Case Competition

Case Competition Presenters

The first round of FIC Universal Case Competition started on Tuesday in the fifth week of the summer 2016 semester. It took two days during the afternoon break period for thirteen teams to complete their presentations. It was obvious that the FIC Universal Case Competition is gaining popularity among the students at Fraser International College @ Simon Fraser University with the largest number of participants so far. The organizers were surprised with the overwhelming responds. Of the thirteen participating teams, there were also more than twenty nationalities represented in the case competition.

Team Triump

The topic for the first round were based on the social issues surrounding hate crimes which included racism, violence, gender, forms of discrimination and so on. In that two days of presentation, the participating teams have shown great confidence, effective speaking skills, used of presentation aids and team cooperations. The selected topic was chosen because social issues are better suited for the international student population of FIC. And the topic was common among the students from different program pathways.

The Gentlemen

Although it is a competition, the atmosphere and momentum around the competition were focused on learning new skills, collaboration and support. With the opportunity, students learned to appreciate and understand the social issues surrounding us, and how important it is to work together to initiate change in our society.

In the two days of competition, twelve teams have been selected to advance to the semifinal rounds. And each team in the next round will start with a fresh case topic and instructions.
