The Husky Case Competition Club (HCCC) was founded on the understanding that real world business situations provide headway in gaining skills and understanding that is beneficial in today’s workforce. While classroom learning is beneficial, that way of learning does not always directly translate to our prospective careers. HCCC's goal is to create opportunity for students to complete in business related case competitions. We believe this will prepare students for future classes, jobs, and internships while also providing opportunities for networking at these events. We focus on diversification with our case competitions, allowing members to sign up for different types of competitions in business. Our main goal is giving members and students at UConn the skills and instincts that will give them an edge in the real world.
