My school just hosted 50 of the top business schools from the east coast yesterday for the semi-finals of the Hult Global Case Challenge here in Boston. Teams present new ideas to a problem for three NGO’s - OLPC, Solar Aid and Habitat for Humanity. This competition occurred simultaneously in Shanghai, Dubai, San Francicsco, London and Boston - where all of our campuses are located.
Winning teams go on to compete against MBA schools worldwide in NYC. Then, my school, Hult International Business School, gives $1 Million dollars for the winning idea from the finals to be implemented. I worked on an off-site research team for one of the teams that presented for Habitat for Humanity. They had to present a solution to how HFH can build 10 million houses in 10 years in developing nations. The Hult team actually won this track and are moving to the finals in NYC. SO proud of them and our school.
Utilizing our MBA business education to solve world problems.
It’s pretty amazing.
