2011 Mergers & Acquisitions Competition
October 20-21, 2011
Mergers
and Acquisitions Contest Draws top MBA Programs; UVA Triumphs
College Park, Md. – Oct. 24, 2011 – A college football weekend likely
comes to mind when a mid-autumn competition is associated with beer and
the likes of UCLA, Texas A&M and the University of Virginia. Teams from
these schools and others recently concluded a pressure-packed
competition. But it involved neither athletics nor tailgating fans.
Instead, MBA students matched their skills as the University of
Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business staged its 5th annual
Mergers and Acquisitions Competition. UVA's Darden School of Business
captured the Oct. 20-21 event's $5,000 first prize.
