Eagle Case Competition Association (ECCA): Building a Firm-Focused Pipeline at BC

Connor Carey ’26 joins host George Kaparis ’27 to introduce the Eagle Case Competition Association (ECCA), a student-founded initiative that aims to bring firm-specific case competitions to Boston College. Connor explains how ECCA mirrors successful models at peer schools, why firm-tailored case work gives students practical technical experience and stronger recruiting visibility, and how the program hopes to create a sustainable pipeline for freshmen through seniors — from hands-on modeling training to real networking with boutique and mega-fund firms. This episode is for students curious about investment banking, private equity, career prep, or anyone interested in turning a campus club into a long-term recruiting advantage.
