Purdue will be hosting our third annual Big Ten Case Competition in Spring 2027, which brings together schools from one of the most competitive athletic conferences in the country. In years past, we have seen representation from 6 Big Ten schools, such as University of Minnesota, University of Michigan, Indiana University, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Rutgers, and University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Sponsored by the Brock-Wilson Center, the competition provided students with a unique platform to develop practical, impactful solutions related to a real-world problem for the region related to workforce development issues.

A case competition exclusive to Big Ten Conference Schools focused on real-world workforce development issues.
$7000 in awards distributed to winning teams and speakers.
Participating in the PowerShift case competition really opened my eyes to these gender norms so when I approach my career, I’ll take those ideas with me. It’s very empowering hearing about these women that we studied and examples where they succeeded.
