2024 APPE IEB® National Competition

The 28th Annual Association For Practical And Professional Ethics Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl® was held in Cincinnati on February 24 and 25, 2024 at the Hilton Netherland Plaza. Congratulations to the University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill, our 2024 Champions!

Thirty-six student teams from institutions of higher learning across the country competed in matches using a set of prepared cases that were drawn from real-life examples in education, business, life, and politics. A team of case writers worked on cases throughout the summer and fall and students have approximately two months to prepare for the competition. More than 200 teams from more than 150 schools compete in regional competitions each fall to earn a berth to the national competition.
