Penn-Yale-Princeton-Columbia (PYPC) Case Competition

?? Celebrating Collaboration and Achievement ?? As we reflect on the remarkable journey of the UPenn-Yale-Princeton-Columbia (PYPC) 2024, we are filled with immense gratitude for the incredible individuals and organizations that made it all possible. This remarkable journey would not have been possible without the invaluable support of Henkel. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Elizabeth Arredondo and her team, who worked tirelessly with us over the past several weeks to develop a thought-provoking case, judge and provide constructive feedback to all the participants, and sponsor the competition. We also extend our gratitude to our esteemed judges from the First and Final Rounds, who generously shared their professional insights with our participating teams. A special acknowledgment to our major sponsors this year — McKinsey & Company, L.E.K. Consulting, Ascel Health, Bain & Company, and Lumanity — for their collaboration in ensuring that our participants could have maximum learning from this competition. Thank you to our final round judges, Janet Coope-Epstein, Molly Bombonato, Kristen Higgins, Noel Park, PhD and Artem Shuvaev, who graciously traveled to the competition site to participate in PYPC this year. We express our deep appreciation to all the talented teams that participated. Your dedication and hard work were truly commendable. We welcomed 26 teams over Zoom to compete in the first round of 2024 on March 22nd, 2024 and invited the top 6 teams to the beautiful Princeton University Campus on April 5th, 2024. Congratulations to Case Aces (1st place), Kale Consulting (2nd place), QuakerBots (3rd place), and all the other teams for tackling such a challenging case in such a short time!!! And of course, thank you to our fellow PYPC E-Board Members for entrusting the Princeton Graduate Consulting Club with this responsibility and for their unwavering support over the last three months. None of this would have been possible without you. Lastly, We are thrilled to announce that the tradition of innovation and collaboration will continue next year. We are excited to share that Columbia University has graciously accepted the honor of hosting the PYPC case competition in 2025. We eagerly anticipate another year of inspiring challenges and await your continued support. Here's to an exciting journey ahead! ??
