About the Grossman Dean's Cup
The Grossman Dean's Cup (GDC) is Grossman School of Business's (GSB) very own case competition. GDC provides teams of 2-4 students with all backgrounds and levels of experience the chance to apply their analytics skills outside the classroom, make strong connections with faculty, alumni and business leaders, practice presentation skills, and have fun! It’s also a chance for students to prepare for larger case competitions against other schools from around the world.
The GDC provides an opportunity for students across multiple disciplines to participate, therefore the competition is open to all undergraduates students from the University of Vermont and fellow colleges and universities.
This in-person competition consists of two rounds held over a single day. Not only is the cup up for grabs, but students will also be competing for cash prizes, networking opportunities, and limited edition Grossman merchandise!
Competition Format
This in-person competition consists of two rounds. Round 1 is an in-person presentation at the Grossman School of Business that is evaluated by judges on a variety of criteria. The finals, Round 2, follows later in the day after first round judge deliberation. Both rounds will include a judging panel of faculty, graduate students, alumni, and prominent community members.

- “It was so fun to share our hard work with the judges and to have to think on our feet when the judges asked us questions about our recommendation. This helps us take what we’ve learned in the classroom and apply it to a real-time business situation.” (2019)
