At the Wisconsin School of Business (WSB), students receive a world-class business education that equips them with the expertise and confidence to become the change makers of tomorrow. A critical component of a WSB education is experiential learning, a transformative approach that allows students to step outside of the classroom and into a real business environment.
This includes case competitions, which challenge teams of students to solve a real-world business problem, allowing them to apply their knowledge, build new skills, and make invaluable connections. “These competitions give you hands-on experience and help build a portfolio you can share with hiring managers,” says Carlos Bello x’26, a WSB student who participated in a consulting case competition. “They also help you understand your strengths and weaknesses in problem analysis, teamwork, communication, and presentations.”
WSB is expanding its portfolio of experiential learning opportunities — including case competitions — so that more students can participate. In fact, WSB plans to launch the first annual Wisconsin Invitational Consulting Case Competition at Grainger Hall in Spring 2025. This inaugural event will give students the opportunity to meet with top employers and compete against teams from the nation’s best undergraduate business programs.
Our ability to provide transformative experiential learning opportunities like this one is all thanks to dedicated supporters like you. During this year’s Fill the Hill, we’re asking alumni, community members, and friends to give every student the chance to participate in case competitions —and experience business like never before.
Gifts made in support of the Wisconsin School of Business will be contributed to the Wisconsin School of Business Fund at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
