ORLANDO, Fla. – Congratulations to the winners of the State Farm Case Competition, hosted by the UCF Professional Selling Program: Devin Folkman, Maria Fernanda Aleman Martinez, Kevin Ramirez Merino, Laura Rivero and Nicholas Upper.
Students were challenged to evaluate a personal insurance purchaser need scenario and craft a written proposal for the buyer based on the portfolio of State Farm products. Justin Bauknight, a State Farm Agent, called the competition an opportunity to “pay it forward” to a group of driven business students.
“We love hosting this competition with UCF to help prepare students for their careers and get them in the mindset of a business professional,” Bauknight said. “We keep coming back to the College of Business and supporting this competition because we believe in the Professional Selling Program and want to reward students who put in the extra effort to stand out.”
