ACG Finance Cup
Four Helzberg students from the Helzberg School competed in the 2013 ACG Cup competition, a premier case study competition where students present corporate valuations, capital markets and M&A strategic advice to a panel of M&A professionals in the region. The Rockhurst students beat out teams from the University of Kansas and Kansas State University to finish first and earn a $2,000 prize.
Global Grundfos Challenge
Grundfos International challenged student teams to participate in two case competitions to solve real business challenges. Teams had access to real company resources to evaluate the problem and formulate solutions. Rockhurst was one of the two business/economics teams from North America that advanced to an international case competition in Denmark in March 2013. The competition team included Andy Holt, '13 MBA, Sarah White, '13, and Anna Juenemann, '14.Gould Scholastic Award
The 2013 topic asked students to examine what strategies, technologies or influences could move Generation Y from consumers to investors. Students from Dr. Brian Fitzpatrick's international finance class and Dr. Sudhakar Raju's financial markets and institutions class wrote papers on the topic. Rockhurst University sent three of these outstanding papers to the national competition. Christina Troupe took first and Benjamin Hebbert won second place competing with a field of students from UMKC, the University of Kansas, Avila University, Truman State and Saint Louis University. The two Helzberg students received $10,000 and $5,000 for their accomplishments.GET RIGHT DOWN TO BUSINESS

In fact, Rockhurst's Helzberg School of Management is the region's only private, AACSB accredited school.
