On Jan. 17-19, four members of Syracuse University’s Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) traveled to Boston to participate in a regional financial case study competition and returned to Syracuse with the first-place award. The “Duel” competition was hosted by Boston College, and the SU team competed against the University of Massachusetts, Saint Anselm College, Worcester State College, Franklin Pierce University and the University of Southern Maine.
As part of the University of Arizona’s national competition, SU-SIFE’s win qualifies the team for the national competition, “Duel in the Desert,” March 6-9. The eight winning regional teams will face off at “Duel in the Desert” for $19,000 in prize money. Members of the SU team are senior April Hace, sophomore Dan Kinney, senior Lauren Echavarria and sophomore Michelle Eifu.
“We are so thrilled that our students took first place in the competition and returned with a major trophy,” says Amanda Nicholson, assistant professor of retail management. “This is a distinguished accomplishment, and I am confident that the students will succeed at the national competition in March.”
