About the Challenge

The Kerestesi $10,000 Insurance Challenge is an exciting case competition that invites undergraduate teams from all Lee Business School majors to tackle a real-world insurance industry challenge. This fast-paced, high-stakes competition will test your critical thinking, problem-solving, and presentation skills.

Hosted by the Kerestesi Center for Insurance and Risk Management and supported by the PHLY Foundation Fund for Experiential Learning.

How the Competition Works

Teams will receive a case analysis prompt 24 hours before the event, simulating the high-pressure decision-making environment of the real world. Each team must consist of three to five undergraduate students from any Lee Business School major, fostering collaboration across different disciplines. During the competition, teams will deliver a formal presentation of their findings to a panel of expert judges, followed by an engaging live Q&A session, where they will defend their analysis and recommendations.
