For this competition, students Caden Jolly, Ayla Green and Daylin McKim traveled to New York City to work at the corporate offices of Kearney, a global management consulting firm.

GEMS plans to continue its relationship with SuitUp and provide more students with opportunities to experience the corporate world and engage in business-related competitions.
