JOMC students win against the business types
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008Two JOMC students are winners in the Arthur W. Page Society Corporate Case Study Competition (2008). This is a national competition that is hotly contested by Business and Communication Schools. Terri Bailey (Ph.D. 2008) won the first prize in the Communication Schools division last year.
Courtney Woo (first year MA) is the Grand Prize winner for her case “Mattel Recalls 2007: Communication Implications for Quality Control, Outsourcing and Consumer Relations.” The award comes with a $5,000 check for Courtney.
The title of Grand Prize is the top award overall and almost always goes to a business school. The fact that Courtney managed to do this in the midst of a tough first semester in grad school is all the more impressive.
Greg Efthimiou (2nd year MA) is the First Place winner in the Communication Schools category with his case, “Jet Blue Airways: Regaining Altitude After the Valentine’s Day Massacre of 2007.” This prize comes with a $2,500 check/
These awards underscore the excellent preparation these students are getting to compete in the public relations world. Congratulations to the students and to the professors who prepare them.
