Clemson MBA Students will Compete for a Cause
March 4, 2009
CLEMSON, SC – March 4, 2009 – A dozen graduate students from Clemson University are fine tuning their athletic skills as they prepare to compete for a cause.
Twelve Master of Business Administration students will travel to Duke University March 27-29 to compete in the 21st annual Duke MBA Games, which raise money for Special Olympics North Carolina.
Along with Clemson and Duke, schools competing include the University of Chicago, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, the University of Michigan and Vanderbilt University.
Building on the leadership and teamwork skills developed in the classroom, MBA candidates will team up with several special olympians to compete. The weekend’s events also will include networking and socializing opportunities in the Durham, N.C., area.
The Clemson MBA Student Association is trying to beat last year’s fundraising total of nearly $3,000. That was the most raised by any of the participating schools. To sponsor the MBA students, go to http://www.firstgiving.com/clemson09.
