PwC Case Competition Update!

Hey everyone,

Now that I have finished my final exams, I thought that I could take a moment to update you about a topic from my previous post: the PwC case competition. 

Last week, I was notified that my team and I were selected to travel to New York this coming January to compete as Finalists in the PwC xACT Case Competition! Out of 45 teams (45 schools each submitted one team from their campus) throughout the country, the University of Illinois was one of 5 schools selected to compete at the National competition. We will be competing against some of the best schools in the country. Specifically, the 5 National Finalists are:

1. Bucknell University
2. Emory University
3. Indiana University
4. University of Illinois
5. University of Texas

I am very excited to have this opportunity, and I can't wait to travel New York and represent the University of Illinois on a national stage!

I also can't wait to see everyone this winter break, and I hope all is well,

Love, Daniel
