Scholarships awarded
A $500 scholarship was awarded to each member of the winning team in the School of Management’s second annual Steven C. Verney MBA Case Competition.
The winners were Liz Blazey of Canandaigua; Abhishek Chandan of Vadodara, India; Adam Mackay of Hingham, Mass.; Peter Ruocco of Grand Island; and Hui Keow Yeo of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
All first-year MBAs at UB took part in the competition, which required them to read and analyze a Harvard business case and write a report recommending solutions for the company in the study.
The top four teams then presented their findings to a panel of judges in the event’s final round, held last semester in the Alfiero Center in Jacobs Management Center, North Campus.
The competition was created exclusively for first-year MBA students at the School of Management through a donation from Steven C. Verney, a vice president of Allstate Insurance Company in Chicago, who received his bachelor’s degree in 1980 and his MBA in 1981 from UB.
Members of the second-place team received $250 scholarships.
The judges for the final round of the competition were John Dunbar, MBA ’81, principal of Strategic Investments & Holdings in Buffalo; Ken Fick, ’98, director of forensic and litigation consulting at FTI Consulting in Washington, D.C.; Ronald Huefner, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Accounting and Law, SOM; and Stephen Kneeland, vice president for service marketing at Xerox Corp. in Rochester.
