Now in its fourth year, the Grossman Dean’s Cup returns to Ifshin and Kalkin Halls on Tuesday, March 1st, 2022.

The Grossman Dean’s Cup is a one-day case competition organized by the Grossman Student Advisory Committee (GSAC) and is open to all UVM undergraduate students. The Grossman Dean’s Cup provides students with all backgrounds and levels of experience the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom, take on the role of consultant, and solve real world business challenges.

This year, the competition returns to its in-person format, which will allow any UVM undergrad to participate and GSAC is hoping for the largest turn out yet. The event helps students with their public speaking and communications skills, as well as preparing them to compete in larger case competitions against other schools from around the world.

Teams of 2-4 prepare and present their case findings to a distinguished panel of judges comprised of business leaders, alums and UVM faculty, who will determine which team best understood, analyzed and presented their recommendations. The competition will consist of two rounds, all taking place on Tuesday, March 1st.

When asked about his experience in the 2020 Grossman Dean’s Cup Joe Consorti ’23 said, “Not only did I get to apply a lot of my fundamental business knowledge as it pertains to marketing and sales, but I got to really problem solve a complex business case with a group of very talented individuals and present it in front of a team of real business professionals.” Joe celebrated his victory on the winning team and said, “If you are looking to challenge yourself or a foray into more business case competitions at UVM I highly suggest checking out the Dean’s Cup and either signing up as an individual or as a team.”

Teams from across campus will be competing against each other for bragging rights, and prizes. The winning team will walk away with their names forever engraved into the Grossman Dean’s Cup 1st place trophy, and a notable achievement for their resume.  Team registration is open now until Tuesday, February 15th.
