Sauder School of Business students snag world championship a second time

UBC Sauder School of Business undergraduate students Andrea Lobo Prabhu, Chris Ho, Catherine Metrycki, and Uvini Lokuge won first prize the second year in a row – the only university to have done so – at the Feb. 9-12 “Champions Trophy Case Competition.” The team was coached by Sauder’s Assoc. Prof. Kin Lo, who teaches accounting. 

Hosted by New Zealand’s University of Auckland, the fourth annual event pitted the best student business minds from 12 universities from around the world. Teams of four students from each university had five hours to read and analyze a 30-page case study, then deliver a presentation and answer questions from a panel of business leaders, including representatives from the case company or organization.

UBC’s competitors included National University of Singapore, the Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario, University of Southern California and the University of Auckland.
