investment management industry. ;At the Ethics Challenge, students are
given an ethics case study to analyze, evaluate, recommend and present to a
panel of judges. To determine the winning team, the judges provide
feedback ;based on the identification and understanding of the ethical
issues in the case, the recommendations provided with the depth of the
analysis, quality of the presentation, and responses to the judges&#8217; questions.</p>
