business students and members in
the local community. The ACG Cup is a
regional competition that encourages
graduate business students to gain not
only an understanding of acquisitions
and mergers but also allows students to
gain valuable experience in the field while
networking with local business leaders.
Cornerstone’s M.B.A. students

and David VanDyke combined
their efforts to represent CU in
the competition. We are proud of
their accomplishments and hope
