Description
Launched in 2024, the Midwest Entrepreneurship Case Competition (MECC) is a regional case competition organized by business librarians and designed for undergraduate students across the Midwest. The competition helps students strengthen their business research skills while competing for prize incentives, generously sponsored by vendors of widely used business databases.
In addition to supporting student learning, MECC facilitates meaningful collaboration among business librarians involved in planning and implementation. It also offers a valuable window into how students engage with business information tools to support informed and strategic decision-making. This presentation will highlight the benefits of partnering with MECC and share upcoming opportunities for business librarians to get involved.
