The very first Victorian Intervarsity Case Competition is complete ✅

Bringing together BCom students from The University of Melbourne, Monash University, RMIT University and La Trobe University, teams worked to solve a real-world business challenge set by CERES Fair Food.

Thank you to all the students that joined us, the judges, the student co-chairs and volunteers, and a big thank you to our case partner CERES Fair Food.
