SIPA Students Take Top Honors at Healthcare Case Challenge

Posted Nov 20 2014

A team of three students from the School of International and Student Affairs (SIPA) took top honors at the ninth Healthcare Management and Delivery Challenge on November 8.

The event, held at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and sponsored by the Hay Group, asked teams of three to five students to tackle a tough leadership and CEO transition challenge for an upstate New York hospital system. All told, 75 students took part, representing seven graduate schools.

Winners were selected by a panel of judges including industry experts and Mailman alumni and faculty.

Congratulations to first-place finishers Molly Slotznick MPA-DP ’15 (Captain), Chloe Denavit MPA-DP ’15, and Andrew Carmona MPA-DP ’15, each of whom won a $250 gift card. The team was advised by Jessica Fanzo of the Institute of Human Nutrition.
