Sponsorship Opportunities
Race and Case offers an opportunity to be the Race & Case Case Sponsor for $10,000.
Being a Case Sponsor gives you direct access to talented and motivated graduate students while allowing you to see how they would approach a problem facing your organization today. The Case Sponsor will interact closely with the student participants at student engagement, recruitment and training events leading up to the competition and on the day of the competition itself. The Sponsor will also receive resumes for all the student competitors.
- Working in tandem with Daniels College of Business’ faculty, the Case Sponsor will provide a real- world business problem for which participating students will provide analysis and recommendations.
- The Presenting Case Sponsor will receive reports from each team with proposed solutions to the business problem.
- The sponsor will have access to all students participating in the event and the ability to network with potential talent.
- An executive from the sponsoring organization will have the opportunity to make remarks at the reception and address the students at either the case portion of the competition, the ski portion or both.
- The sponsoring organization will be included in all social media, PR and marketing collateral associated with the event.
“CenturyLink was thrilled to partner with Daniels as the case sponsor for the 2018 Race and Case international competition.

Our team was very impressed with the depth and quality of work that was presented by each team, and we walked away with real solutions to some of the challenges we face.”
