FCA US Supports National Black MBA Association Competition
Talented MBA candidates from 34 of the nation’s leading business schools recently competed for $50,000 in scholarships in the 2016 National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) Graduate Student Case Competition, sponsored by FCA US LLC.
The NBMBAA/FCA US National Graduate Student Case Competition is an annual event designed to give high-powered student teams an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and problem-solving skills in a formal competition. Teams are given a business case from which they develop business solutions. Each student team then prepares and presents its case to a panel of experienced business executives. Teams are judged on their analysis of the case, the feasibility of their recommendations and the quality of their presentations.
The competition is held each year as part of the NBMBAA’s Annual Conference and Exposition, which was held this year in New Orleans, October 11-15. FCA US has been an active supporter of NBMBAA for more than 30 years and the exclusive sponsor of the Graduate Student Case Competition since 1995. Over that time, more than 2,200 MBA students have participated in the competition.
“FCA US is proud to continue its support of the National Black MBA Association Graduate Student Case Competition,” said Marlin Page, Head of Diversity and Inclusion, FCA US. “The competition is a showcase event for student achievement, allowing FCA US to demonstrate its commitment to identifying, recruiting and developing diverse talent and future business leaders.”
This year, the students from the University of Michigan took home the first place trophy as national champions and $25,000 in scholarships. The winning team members were Jamyle Michael, Kae Bradford, Eric Harris and Chidi Nwosu, all current MBA students. The second and third place teams represented North Carolina State University and Georgia State University, earning $15,000 and $10,000 in scholarships, respectively.
