JSGS Policy Case Competition

2012 Internal Case Competition

On November 24, 2012, the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy was pleased to host its second Internal Policy Case Competition.

The Case Competition is an experiential learning exercise for students that simulate a situation which could happen during the course of a career in the public service. During the competition, six teams (made up of four students) each had two hours to analyze a case study. Each team, playing the role of public servants, were then allotted 20 minutes to present a summary of their analysis and recommendation to a panel of three judges, who played the role of ministerial cabinet members.

The panel of judges included:

Sharon Lee Smith, Assistant Deputy Minister, Saskatchewan region, Western Economic Diversification
Ron Styles, President and Chief Executive Officer, SaskTel
Daphne Taras, Dean, Edwards School of Business

The Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy would like to congratulate the following students who were awarded first place in the 2012 JSGS Internal Case Competition:
