We've got winners!

Thanks to everyone that participated in the case competition - judges, sponsoring organizations, and especially the competitors. Today was the culmination of a long thirty-six hours and we hope that it was an enjoyable event.  We'd like to congratulate "Barcelona Consulting Group" on their win.  Yan Zhang, Dillon Morrison and Ashley McClanahan beat a field of 12 teams and won the judges over with their presentation skills, Q&A handling, and insight.  Following in second and third were "New Kids" (Kieran Kayalackakom, Vince Tam, Zishan Lokhantwala, Tiffany Thompson) and "Nuclear" (Nathalie Nhi Pham, Leila Mirseyedi, Colleen Chen, Ronan Arthur).

If you have any suggestions for improving the case competition, please feel free to use the contact form @ www.bruinco.com/contact or send an email to info@bruinco.com.   Bruin Consulting will still be hosting a few more events for the rest of this quarter, so be sure to join us!  If you can't catch us this spring, be sure to look out for the Fall Case Competition.

Have a great weekend!
