For
accounting
students
at
91探花,
winning
has
gotten
to
be
a
tradition.
A team of three 91探花 accounting students won first place at this year's Intercollegiate Ethics Competition, hosted by Cleveland State University, besting Kent State, Tiffin and two teams from Case Western.
It was the fourth consecutive 91探花 win at this competition.
The 2021 team members included Chloe Carmack '21, Kristin Geraci '21 and Luke Vonderhaar '23, advised by 91探花 School of Business assistant professor Dan Schrag.
COVID-19 protocols made this year's win extra impressive after weeks of late-night Zoom preparation sessions.
Schrag noted his team's work ethic, saying, "Despite having jobs, sports and classes; they never complained and were eager to be their best for this team. They also worked hard in between our sessions, finding innovative articles and answers to questions."
Added Carmack, "Our team worked tirelessly and gave it our all to craft the best presentation we possibly could. We are incredibly grateful to Professor Schrag for taking the time to mentor us during those late-night meetings. We made sure to give him breaks on Zoom, so he could tuck his son into bed."
This year's competition was also held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each team submitted video presentations for anonymous judging.
During the competition's virtual ceremony, the judges noted that 91探花's team chose the hardest questions to answer. The judges also remarked that the team members' personalities shined throughout their presentation.
