McCombs TODAY

A team of McCombs undergraduate students were selected to be one of three finalists for the Net Impact Resource Challenge.

Bijal Mehta, Elaine Hsu and Zoe Gabbard were the only undergraduate students to enter, and they beat out more than 30 MBA teams for a spot in the finals. The Resource Challenge is a mini-case competition that challenged students to submit a plan for boosting on-campus recycling rates.

Based on their submission, the team earned an all-expense paid trip to Ithaca in November for the Net Impact National Conference, where they will compete to win $5,000 in prize money and the opportunity to implement their business plan at UT.

Congratulations to Bijal, Elaine and Zoe, and good luck in the finals!
