For the second year, Defense Acquisition University West Region faculty members Jim McNulty, Maj. George Bock, and Maj. Shelli Brunswick served as judges with other business and academic professionals during the 9th Annual National Intercollegiate Business Ethics Competition on 19-21 April. The competition was sponsored by the Center for Ethics and Business, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, Calif.

Teams from 26 colleges and universities from around the country competed at the undergraduate level, and nine teams participated at the graduate level. This year's competition was an international event with teams competing from the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, and from McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point both participated in the competition at the undergraduate level.

Each competing team selected a topic from any area of business ethics and described both the problem and the solution to a panel of judges. The presenting team role-played as either a business unit in the organization or as consultants to the organization. The judges were directed by the teams for a specific role during the presentation, acting as either senior organization officials or as the board of directors. The undergraduate team from the Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College, was the first place winner, receiving the Emmons Prize and a $2,000 cash award. The U.S. Naval Academy was awarded the Harriet Taylor Ethics Essay Prize and a $500 cash award.
