A team of DePaul students won big in the region at Deloitte’s FanTAXtic Tax Case Competition last fall. DePaul students Michael Sherman, Hamza Siddiqui, Raj Patel, Chandni Patel and Austin Valadez placed second against tough competition from Michigan State, University of Iowa, University of Wisconsin and University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The Deloitte FanTAXtic case competition is designed to educate and prepare the next generation of students for a career in business and tax. Associate Professor Mingjun Zhou was the faculty advisor for the event. “This was a great event to provide students with insights and perspectives on challenges facing the profession today, future trends that may impact it tomorrow, and the overall changing business tax marketplace,” says Zhou.
