Elon College MBA students place second in contest

ELON COLLEGE – Three master of business administration students at Elon College took second place in a recent statewide competition sponsored by N.C. Small Business and Technology Development Center.

The team of Kim Heying, Jim Stanford and Kevin Hancock presented a case study on Mebtel Communications, a small telephone company based in Mebane. The team will share the $1,500 second-place prize.

The second place finish is the highest that the college has achieved, said John Burbridge, dean of the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business. Each of the eleven teams that competed studied a business, submitted written reports and then made oral presentations on their findings.
