The McWick Case Competition

The McWick Award for Strategic Analysis was established in Fall 2000 by Kathleen McBride in appreciation for the educational opportunities given her during her student days at the University of Richmond, and to help educate students with the skills necessary to create and manage their own company.

Each spring, student teams compete in the competition held at the Robins School of Business.  They are assigned a business case with only a very short time to evaluate it and make recommendations for the company.  The first round is judged by instructors of the strategic management course in which the students are involved.  The best teams from each section are sent to a semi-final round to be judged by other Robins School faculty.  The final round is judged by seasoned executives.

This exciting event is funded through earnings from the McWick Fund.  The donor, Kathleen McBride, frequently participates in the conference and makes the awards.
