SBI students repeat as champs at NBMBAA Competition

A team of three business students from FAMU's School of Business and Industry, yesterday, claimed first place at the National Black MBA Conference's case-study competition in Washington, DC. It it the second year in a row that students from FAMU's SBI won the competition, and the first time in 14 years that a school has repeated as champs.

The FAMU team swept through its region beating teams from MIT and Duke to make the finals of the competition. When the final points were tallied FAMU finished No. 1 and head of the University of Tennessee (2nd place), and the University of Texas (3rd place).

Last year FAMU broke new ground at the MBA confab by becoming the first HBCU to win the top prize. Ironically, it was FAMU's first year competing.
