2012 JSGS National Policy Case Competition
The Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School (JSGS) is pleased to be hosting the first National Policy Case Competition on Friday, January 13, 2012, at the University of Saskatchewan campus in Saskatoon. This competition will provide a tremendous opportunity to showcase public policy and public management programs being offered at Canadian universities, while allowing students from across the country to engage with one another and develop stronger links with various levels of government. Additionally, this experiential learning opportunity promotes the sharing of ideas on the use of case studies in teaching, further advancing our respective programs.
The competition will be comprised of six teams of three students each (3 JSGS teams, 3 visiting teams). JSGS extends a warm welcome to Queen’s, Simon Fraser and Carleton Universities to this event. Teams will have approximately three hours to analyze a case study with assistance from a faculty coach. Each team, playing the role of public servants, will then be alloted 30 minutes to present a summary of their analysis and recommendation to a panel of three judges, who will play the role of ministerial cabinet members.
