Grossman School of Business
Case competitions challenge students to apply their classroom knowledge in a pressure-laden environment that develops problem-solving, time management, and communication skills through teamwork, all of which are crucial in today’s workplace.

Case competitions prepare students for success in job interviews, careers, and effective decision-making. Since 2012, more than 500 University of Vermont Grossman School of Business students have competed in case competitions spanning North America and Europe—from Vancouver and  Rotterdman, to Toronto and Guadalajara.

During the 2025-2026 academic year, Grossman students represented the school at regional, national, and international competitions across North America and Europe. GSB sent teams to 8 case competitions, with over 30 students competing at a variety of international locations.
