UNM Anderson Club Challenge Set for Feb. 15

The annual Ander­son School of Man­age­ment Club Chal­lenge takes place Fri­day, Feb. 15 from 10 a.m. — 1:30 p.m. in the Jack­son Stu­dent Cen­ter. The chal­lenge forces stu­dents to think quickly and develop pre­sen­ta­tions in four sep­a­rate cat­e­gories: Mis­sion State­ment, Tag Line, Com­mer­cial and Sales Pitch.

Each Club Chal­lenge team will have a busi­ness “Coach” assigned to the team and five mem­bers from the Albu­querque busi­ness com­mu­nity will judge the com­pe­ti­tion. Thanks to gen­er­ous sup­port from Fidelity Invest­ments, teams will be com­pet­ing for cash prizes this year.

We focus year-round on help­ing stu­dents receive a qual­ity core edu­ca­tion,” said Leean Kravitz, direc­tor of pub­lic affairs, Fidelity Invest­ments. “We’re proud to spon­sor the Ander­son Club Chal­lenge because it expands stu­dents’ class­room learning.”

The win­ning stu­dent team will earn a $1,000 first prize and have their name etched on the Club Chal­lenge tro­phy. The sec­ond place team will receive $400.

All UNM stu­dents are wel­come to par­tic­i­pate in the duel­ing minds com­pe­ti­tion and 10 teams have already com­mit­ted to the chal­lenge. The pub­lic is invited to attend. For more infor­ma­tion email Emily McGoawan at emcgowan@unm.edu.
