Kay Payne Undergraduate Student Case Competition  

The Kay Payne Undergraduate Student Case Competition, established in 2007, encourages students and faculty to engage in innovative and creative thinking for businesses that reside in Nebraska. Through this experiential learning, undergraduate students are supported by UNK College of Business and Technology faculty to complete consultation projects with rural Nebraska businesses and non-profit organizations.   

A new plaque has been displayed near Jitters at the West Center Building (hanging just above the Collegiate Readership Program racks) to celebrate the accomplishments of these outstanding undergraduate students.  Be sure to stop by and see it!

 CONGRATULATIONS!!
...to all of the Case Competition winners.
