Congratulations to the UC MBA team who took first place at the National MBA Case Competition hosted by the University of Otago this weekend. This from one of the contestants:

“We gained far more from the experience than we anticipated. The process has not only boosted our confidence, but also allowed us to apply many of the skills and lessons we've been learning in our courses.

Our result is truly a testament to the high-quality program and the talented lecturers we are fortunate to learn from.”

Well done Sarah Velluppillai, Jared Kleinjan, Grace Little and James Mackenzie! And many thanks for your hard work in preparing for the competition.

🌍 Sustainability is a critical priority for leaders today. According to Rod Carr, the world cannot maintain its current social and economic infrastructure with high greenhouse gas emissions. New Zealand needs to adopt and promote low-emission lifestyles and products to stay competitive and sustainable.

Join for an insightful session with Climate Change Commission chair Rod Carr as he discusses the transition to a sustainable future, addressing the challenges and questions along the way.

Coucou! My name is Honor , I’ll be taking over UCbusiness for the next couple days to show you my day to day life as a student on exchange 😆

I’m currently studying at Audencia Business School located in Nantes, France! 🇫🇷

I’m studying a bachelor of commerce with my majors being international business and marketing ☺️

I choose France as my destination as I have studied the language both in high school and at UC! Of course the yummy bread and pastries are a bonus 😋

So far, studying at Audencia has taught me so about about looking at Business through a global lens. I have also made some amazing friends along the way all from different cultures!

Over the next few days I will be showing you the amazing student life here along with answering any questions you may have regarding going on an exchange. 😊
