PwC’s Cyber Security Case Competition is coming up!
The case competition models real-world business scenarios focusing on the cyber security issues currently facing companies all over the world. In just over a two-week period of time, you will work with a small team of students to review a business case, develop a solution, and create a presentation. Your team will then deliver your solution to a group of PwC professionals. Success is measured by three key criteria: critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. You will come away with valuable insights into our profession, our firm, and the issues faced by global business leaders.
Who can compete?
University of Washington – Seattle undergraduate students with a graduation date of December 2016 or later
All majors/minors are welcome, but relevant STEM majors/minors are strongly encouraged to participate. Those majors/minors include, but are not limited to: Data / Business Analytics, Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Technology Management and Informatics.
