2022 Spring Student Innovation Challenge

Dig, Discover, Learn! College Accounting Case Competition Offers Real-world Experiential Learning.

The Student Innovation Challenge offers a great opportunity for college students to gain real-world knowledge while challenging their accounting skills and team collaboration capabilities.

Students compete as teams of two, three, or four members. All major disciplines are welcome, however 50% of the team must come from an accounting-related major. A faculty advisor is highly recommended, but not required for participation.

Competition Judges

An important part of the competition, experienced professionals working in business & industry, public accounting, government, and nonprofit sectors are needed to bring their knowledge and insight to review the student presentations, evaluate and score each team entry, and help select a winner. The judging period will run from March 21-25 and is an integral part of the Student Innovation Challenge.

The 2022 Student Innovation Challenge would not be possible without the commitment and thoughtful insights from our competition judges.
