A team of agribusiness students won second place at the National Grocers Association Case Study Competition on February 26-28 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The team, consisting of fourth-year agricultural business majors Simran Kurse, Charlotte Courts, Shay Warren, Camille Harteker, and Sophia Pinto competed against 11 other collegiate teams from around the country. The team was tasked with creating a plan to assist Dierbergs, an independent supermarket chain operating 26 stores in the greater St. Louis area, with attracting and retaining Gen Z in the workforce. They devised a four-initiative solution called Dierberg’s Direction, aimed at providing upward potential and a greater sense of fulfillment for younger workers in the stores, commissaries, and corporate offices.
