The Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation supports Booth and UChicago students who are participating in national competitions focused on social impact.
Here’s a sampling of some of those competitions. For more information, check out Booth’s list of social impact competitions or contact us with any questions.
Patagonia Case Competition
Booth students can register to participate in the Patagonia Case Competition, hosted by the University of California Berkeley Haas School of Business and Patagonia. Finalists compete for cash prizes and the chance to travel and present to Patagonia’s California headquarters.
Net Impact Case Competition
In 2020 and beyond, it is not enough for businesses to solely focus on profits. Business plans must prioritize environmental and social factors as well. The Net Impact Case Competition provides students the chance to display their ability to solve problems using a multidisciplinary approach to sustainability-focused professionals and companies.
Participating in a competition is a great way for students to gain real-world experience, network, and build teamwork skills.
