Another first at this year’s contest, JBHunt Transportation Services has joined as a sponsor. Thanks them and Acxiom Corp, for the generosity and enthusiasm you have shown for our yearly event.

Of course, there were many folks in the CSCE department who also deserve kudos. The administrative and technical staff, the faculty who donated their time, the ACM student officers and membership, the CSCE alumni contest judges. Your enthusiastic commitment year after year is what makes this event work so smoothly.
