UW Team Wins 2023 Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Case Competition  

The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative’s 11th annual Collegiate Program Case Competition took place April 21 in Aurora, Colorado. The event included two separate competitions, one for undergraduate students and one for graduate students. Students from the University of Wyoming won first place in the undergraduate track for the second consecutive year and the University of Denver placed first in the graduate track. According to information from the Daniels Fund, the Case Competition exposes college students to a thought-provoking business ethics case similar to a situation they might face in their professional careers and gives them practical tools for ethical decision-making that they will be able to apply in the future.

University of Denver placed second and Colorado State University placed third in the undergraduate track. In the graduate track, the second place team was from the University of Colorado Boulder and the third place team was from University of Colorado Denver. Ten undergraduate and nine graduate student teams participated in this unique competition, designed exclusively for schools that are part of the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program from Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program was established in 2010 to instill a high standard of ethics in students and strengthen principle-based ethics education in participating schools. The program consists of eleven university partners in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.
