IEN's Student Corporate Engagement Competition puts a new spin on the traditional approach to investment competitions by focusing on the responsibility of investors to directly engage company management on the risks and opportunities they see.
The Competition invites students to not only produce an investment recommendation in a publicly-traded company, but also to include in their recommendation a shareholder engagement strategy for improving the company’s business performance and impact on society.
2021 Competition
The winner of the 2021 Student Corporate Engagement Competition was Arizona State University!
In 2020-2021, student teams from Arizona State University, Dartmouth College Tuck School of Business, University of California Haas School of Business, and University of Chicago participated in the Competition.

2020 Competition
The winner of the 2020 Student Corporate Engagement Competition was University of California Berkeley Haas School of Business!
In our pilot year (2019-2020), two participating teams directly engaged with company management and large shareholders to move engagement strategies forward, and in one case, this work resulted in the student's university endowment exploring how they can more actively engage with their holdings.
