They came, they collaborated, they crunched the numbers and were rewarded for their efforts in a grueling regional business competition sponsored by Goodman & Company, a major Virginia accounting business.<\/p>\n

A team of Eastern Mennonite University senior accounting majors tied for fourth place in the final round of competition with a team from the University of Virginia in the ninth annual Goodman & Company Accounting Challenge in the fall of 2010.<\/p>\n

The team \u2013 consisting of Brittany S. Snyder<\/strong>, Raphine, Va.; Heidi A. Boese<\/strong>, Hesston, Kan.; Eric B. Yoder<\/strong>, Narvon, Pa.; and Jason D. Ropp<\/strong>, Iowa City, Iowa \u2013 was one of 33 teams from colleges and universities from Virginia and Maryland who took a six-hour business exam the second week of October.<\/p>\n

The EMU team was one of only five to advance to the final round of the competition held Nov. 5 in Richmond, Va. Here, the EMU students took another intensive, six-hour exam of practical business questions.<\/p>\n

For finishing tied for fourth place, the team was awarded $750 for the EMU business and economics department, and each student received $250 from Goodman & Company. Another team from U.Va. finished first in the contest, followed by teams from William & Mary and James Madison University.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really proud of these students,\u201d said Ronald L. (Ron) Stoltzfus<\/a>, professor of business and economics and MBA program co-director at EMU. \u201cIt was definitely a team effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to have this kind of external validation of our business program and our students,\u201d Stoltzfus added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an affirmation of our curriculum and says that our students are well prepared to enter the job market and go on to graduate school,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
