Students will gain work-ready skills and competencies sought after by employers including teamwork, problem-solving, and communication!
Cash prizes will be awarded to the top teams!
Employer: First American Equipment Finance (FAEF)
Topic: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) (specific challenge statement to be provided at kick-off) Students will propose innovative solutions to address the underrepresentation of diverse employees in our workforce. The goal is to create strategies that foster inclusivity, attract more diverse candidates, minimize unconscious bias, and retain employees.

By registering, students commit to the following:
• Attend the Kick-Off Event on Friday, March 22nd, 3-5PM (Rettner 307)
