Meet the Participants
SuitUp with R3 Participants
Volunteers and students who engaged in this week’s SuitUp with R3
competition ranged in age, race, gender and educational skill level.
A diverse group of students put on the CEO hat and led their teams
toward making amazing prize-winning pitches. High school boys and girls
were able to collaborate with middle school boys and girls who
celebrated backgrounds such as African, Asian, Middle Eastern and
European cultures.
The volunteers from R3 made an impact from the United States as well as
London, UK. The demographics of the individuals who served were very
diverse in background and level at the company.

4. Business Case Challenge
Through SuitUp, volunteers from R3 and students from across the country participated
in a SuitUp business competition in which they created a "return to work" gift box for
employees of R3 that promotes social distancing, COVID-19 compliance and safety,
health and well-being, and fun. Volunteers coached students in various departments
before helping them pitch to judges for a cash prize.

9. During the competition, we
overheard…
“I was super impressed and SUPER Amazed by how well the students
worked together and pulled this off! - R3 volunteer
I learned that it's good to be a part of a team and hear different
perspectives. It pushes you to be open to others and reflect on your
own ideas. Everyone is different. Having many ideas can be better
than just your own... - SuitUp student
I learned that it's good to push yourself out of your comfort zone. I
usually do design or marketing, but this time I did strategy, and I
learned so much more! SuitUp student
