Join This Great Opportunity - the earlier you join, the more time your team has to work on a case! As members of the Global Business School Network, UConn School of Business students can enter and compete in this global opportunity.  Students (both graduate and undergraduate) are challenged to identify and solve a Social Logistics issue.  Social Logistics is a unique opportunity to interact with other disciplines and utilize one another’s expertise to create business solutions with a focus on social responsibility and awareness. You can sign up with our Global Business Programs office as an individual or as a team.  We will organize teams for all (the goal is to have mixed teams of undergrad and grad students) and provide support throughout the process. Register early to have more time to work on your case!

Step 1: Connect with Arminda Kamphausen at Global.business@uconn.edu to participate.

Step 2: Identify a local problem. Utilize your logistical knowledge and training to improve a societal access problem.  Be sure to identify the community of this problem, the multiple stakeholders involved, and most importantly, how this solution supports one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Step 3: Pull together your team. Teams can be multi-disciplinary, 2-5 students and from grad or undergrad levels. 

Step 4: Develop a unique and implementable solution that can be used in a locally-relevant context. Demonstrate that solution in a creative format. This year, GBSN encourages highlights of technology disruptions or solutions.

Step 5: First round submissions due October 22.

Deadline to Sign Up to Participate: Friday September 29th
