Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Last night our entrepreneurship team, cycleWood Solutions, won again.  We are 2-0 in competitions so far.  They are internal competitions, but we still won.  Last night we had the University Walmart Net Impact competition.  This competition is for teams that have a business plan around social responsibility or sustainability initiatives.  The winner gets to go to move on to the regional competition which is at Rice this year.  There was an unannounced prize last night as well.  The winner received $2500 to cover travel expenses.  This is very nice since cost is one of the factors that limits the number of competitions we can attend.  So we are headed down to Houston for the Walmart regional competition.  We've also been accepted to the Venture Challenge at San Diego State and the Cardinal Challenge at the University of Louisville.  Hopefully we can keep our winning streak going and provide positive exposure for the Walton College.  I'll keep you posted.
