UBC SPPH

We are thrilled to share that a UBC MPH team took home the national title at the 2026 Canadian Evaluation Society (CES) Case Competition, held in Edmonton on Monday, May 25, 2026.

This year’s winning team—comprised of Iris Kwon, Riya C., Lauren Rutherford, Ayesha Lalani, and Nicole Paletta—delivered an outstanding performance throughout the competition. Their success was strengthened by the invaluable mentorship and feedback of Prof. Beth Snow.

This remarkable achievement reflects the talent, dedication, and collaborative spirit of our students. We are incredibly proud of the team for representing UBC and SPPH with such distinction. Please join us in congratulating them on this well-deserved accomplishment!
