Break the status quo and win a trip to Switzerland

Announcements | Jan 09, 2017 | Gabelli School of Business

Do you have a radical idea to solve a global problem? Are you itching to do something about it?

Graduate students are invited to submit an entry to the St. Gallen Wings of Excellence Award competition for a chance to win a free trip to this year’s St. Gallen Symposium in May.

To enter, students must choose one of four fields—business, politics, science, or society—and submit an essay explaining a disruptive idea to solve a problem in the chosen area. The top 100 applicants will receive an all-expense-paid trip to the 47th St. Gallen Symposium in Switzerland, and the top six students will have a chance to compete on the global stage for the St. Gallen Wings of Excellence Award. The competition provides students with an opportunity to share their ideas with global entrepreneurs, managers, politicians, and scientists, as well as the leaders of tomorrow.

Find out more out eligibility and entry requirements. The deadline to submit your essay is Wednesday, February 1.
