Anchor & Accelerate is a pitch competition designed to help first year students develop their analytical and presentation skills while gaining hands-on experience in competitive problem-solving. The competition creates an inclusive environment where students can sharpen their business acumen and prepare for future challenges in the industry.
To ensure these first-year students were well prepared to compete by their fifth week on campus, the Brock-Wilson Center hosted workshops focused on case competition strategies and best practices, equipping students with tools to approach business problems effectively.
