Belmont Students Bring Home Awards in International Business Competition
The 8th Annual CIBER (Center for International Business Education and Research) Case Challenge was hosted by the University of Connecticut, in Storrs, CT, on October 19-23, 2011. The CIBER Case Challenge brings teams from around the world together to compete each year by analyzing and presenting an international business case.
Students from 15 universities formed teams for the competition. Each four-student team had at least one student from an international business school and three students from different U.S. schools. This year was the first year for Belmont University to attend the CIBER Case Challenge. Our business student competitors were Ayesha Gaffar, Jordan Holt, Patrick Hurt, and Rami Nofal.
Ayesha Ghaffar’s team won their preliminary round competition of five teams and competed in the final round to place third, out of fifteen, in the competition overall. Two other Belmont students were awarded individual awards in the preliminary round among their five teams. Jordan Holt was named “Best Presenter” and Patrick Hurt was named “Best Q&A.” Belmont was the only university with two students recognized for individual awards. Congratulations to our students!
