Details

McDonough Cup is the MBA Program’s signature event of the spring semester, ‘aka’ the MBA program’s Spirit Week! A fun and thrilling weeklong competition amongst the six cohorts in which the cohorts participate as individual units in a plethora of events ranging from business skill-driven challenges to team sports tournaments competing for the coveted McDonough Cup. It’s not only the cup that the cohorts will be fighting tooth and nail for but also the pride and the bragging rights for the BEST cohort at MSB.

So how does it work? There will be six participating cohorts – HOYA, SAXA, BLUE, GRAY, HILLTOP, and BULLDOG – all competing for the coveted prize of the “McDonough Cup”. The cohorts will form their own teams depending on the requirements of the various events. This is one of those rare opportunities to live the true Hoya spirit while also getting to know Hoyas from across years/programs and building community spirit while competing!

Please keep an eye on this page as clubs begin adding their events to HoyaConnect for you to register to!
