Utah Valley University's Woodbury School of Business and Women Success Center are delighted to host the Women in Leadership Collegiate Case Competition! This event is open to undergraduate and graduate student teams of all majors and genders. The competition will expose students to a complex business challenge that features a woman leader protagonist. All competitors will have the opportunity to meet and interact with the protagonist, and finalists will present directly to her during the competition.
Students will analyze, propose, and present innovative solutions to help solve a real-world challenge. Students will have the opportunity to showcase their complex problem-solving and presentation skills, apply classroom learning, build confidence, and engage in a networking event with leaders from Silicon Slopes. Moreover, they will have the opportunity to engage in the critical conversation of women in leadership. Institutions from all over the world are invited to participate.
Prizes will be awarded to first, second, and third placed finalists. Participating
institutions will be asked to pay an entry fee. There will be an early-bird pricing
option of $350 for schools that register before February 10th. After February 19th,
the entry fee will be $400. The entry fee will cover (2) participating students, (1)
faculty advisor. and (1) alternate student team member or observer (optional). Additional
student observers and advisors can attend for $50/person.
You can reserve your team's spot via the registration link above even if you do not
yet have the team members' names confirmed. Once all individuals (students and faculty)
have been identified, each person will need to also register as an event participant,
so we can capture contact information and dietary needs.
The week of February 19th, all registered teams will receive the case and instructions via email. Teams that register after February 19th, during the late registration period, will receive the case and instructions within 24 hours of registering. Late registration closes on March 4th.
