Berg Cup Case Study Competition
The Berg Cup is a nationally known ethics case study competition held each spring term at the University of Pittsburgh.

With the success of last year's case study competition, we are ready and eager to make this year's event even better. The Sixth Annual Berg Cup case study competition will be held March 2014. The Berg Center will design the case document. The teams that best analyze and provide solutions for the study will receive either a first place prize of $4,000 or a second place prize of $2,000.
The competition is hosted and administered by the University Of Pittsburgh Chapter Of Phi Beta Lambda and the David Berg Center for Ethics and Leadership. Each team will consist of 4 undergraduate student members. There will be a variety of judges from different facets of the University and the community.
Hotel accommodations are provided for participating teams on the University of Pittsburgh campus. Meals are complimentary meals throughout the two-day event, along with entertainment and social activities for teams to network and build relationships.
