Accenture Challenge took place last week, with the culminating event on Friday 03 December 2004.
Glad to see some reflective thinking being expressed on the CICS weblogs. I thought the event was a good and complete version of the CICS Accenture events I've seen. This comment is to give a sense of perspective to the master's candidates who participated this year.
It was good to see some of the veteran candidates and alumni attend as spectators. I'd like to see that as a growing custom in the Center for Information and Communication Sciences. That would assist the Center in making the Accenture Challenge go beyond a class assignment "with benefits." The veterans I saw in attendance were Joel Patrick, Donna Penticuff and Matt Smith. If I've missed anybody or made an error, I apologize, and ask that you add the information in a Comment to this weblog entry.
I was proud of all the teams. I saw a lot of good presentation technique, and good teamwork overall. The geeks took a fair amount of incoming pretty well. Congratulations to all who contributed to the success of the 2004 Accenture Challenge--it was the Center in action at its best.
