WASHINGTON – Howard University School of Business student Rachel Clark placed second at the inaugural Raytheon Technologies Invitational Business Case Competition, presented by the Texas Christian University Neeley School of Business. Clark is a junior supply-chain management major and president of the Howard University Supply Chain Student Association.

“Being able to compete on the national level alongside both MBA and undergraduate students truly allowed me to learn so much throughout the entire competition,” said Clark. “With each of my teammates coming from such unique professional backgrounds, we were challenged to find the strength in each of our own unique perspectives in order to succeed in this case. I am so grateful to TCU and Raytheon for creating this experience and thrilled to have been able to represent Howard University and the School of Business.”

The competition engaged students from top-tier business schools in the nation. Sixteen graduate and 20 undergraduate students studying supply chain, engineering and business worked in combined teams on a case provided by aerospace and defense conglomerate Raytheon Technologies.

Clark competed alongside Julia Hojnaski of Michigan State University, Adam Hupp of Purdue University and John West of the University of Texas at Dallas. The team won the second-place prize of $7,500, and Clark was one of just two students to be singled for additional honors from the judges, taking home the title for “best presenter.”
