The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program 2024 Case Competition

Join Our Team!

One undergraduate team and one graduate team from UCCS will compete with teams from the Collegiate Program business schools in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico. Two faculty advisors will support each team. Select students of the University of Colorado Law School serve as legal advisors to each competing team.

The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program Case Competition exposes students to a thought-provoking business ethics case that they might face in their professional careers.

This competition builds on the solid principle-based ethical framework central to decision-making in a complex business environment. The ethics that is demonstrated in the competition should convey that principles are a constant foundation not relative to a specific situation, and that doing what's right prevails over self-interest, even when the two appear to conflict.

  • Student teams collaboratively analyze, present, and respond to questions posed by a panel of judges.
  • Students compete with teams from other Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative schools.
  • The experience challenges students' ethical reasoning, provides a significant networking opportunity, and in the end, raises students' awareness of the importance of principle-based ethics.

By participating as a team member for the Daniels Fund Ethics Consortium Case Competition you will get to represent UCCS in a prominent competition, show employers your ethical decision-making skills, build your resume, and meet high-profile senior business executives!
