Letter
Welcome/Bienvenue,
On behalf of the executive committee of the Desautels Case Competition,
we would like to welcome you to the 2016 edition of DCC! We are proud
to offer our partners a unique opportunity to get involved with McGill’s
brightest business and engineering students.
As the last case competition of the year, DCC allows students to utilize
the skills they have learned throughout the year from previous case
competitions and classes, and apply their knowledge to solve real world
cases. As our partner, you would have first hand access to innovative
solutions and comprehensive strategies to real issues that your business
may be facing today. You will also have the opportunity to assess our
students’ skills and abilities, an opportunity we believe is symbiotic to
both parties.
It is only through generous corporate support that we have been able
to make academic events such as DCC a reality in the past years. As
a partner of the Desautels Case Competition, you are provided with
an invaluable opportunity to increase your visibility within the McGill
community and develop quality relationships with talented and
determined McGill business students.
This sponsorship package includes details about the case competition,
the levels of sponsorship that are available as well as in-depth
details about the advantages of being a sponsor for the flagship case
competition of Desautels’ Faculty of Management. On behalf of the
Desautels Case Competition executive committee and the Management
Undergraduate Society, we would like to thank you for your time and
consideration and we look forward to hearing from you soon!
Sincerely,
Emily Zhou & Michelle Yu
Executive Directors, Desautels Case Competition 2015-2016
