Winning Team To Be Named at the November Net Impact Conference at Vanderbilt’s Owen School

NASHVILLE (September 14, 2007) – As interest continues to grow among today’s MBA students about the role of business in the fight against global poverty, now for the first time graduate business student teams from around the world can participate in a case competition designed to produce tangible solutions to poverty-related conditions in society. 

The Project Pyramid Case Competition, sponsored and hosted by the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management, is believed to be the only contest of its kind and is the product of Vanderbilt’s Project Pyramid, a student-driven initiative to arm future leaders at all of Vanderbilt University’s schools with the business tools to produce sustainable solutions that alleviate poverty.  The winning team will be announced at the upcoming Net Impact Conference, the world’s largest gathering of socially responsible graduate business students and young professionals, November 1-3 on the Vanderbilt campus.

Registration for the inaugural Project Pyramid Case Competition will take place from September 14-28 through a dedicated contest Web site (www.projectpyramidcase.org).  Over the course of the two-month contest, student teams will compete in two rounds of competition for $15,000 in prize money, provided through a generous gift of support by Cal Turner, Jr., chairman of the Cal Turner Family Foundation and retired Chairman and CEO of Dollar General Corporation, for the Project Pyramid initiative.
