Vamos Knights!

Carlos Valdez of our Integrated Business faculty and Johnathan Mell of CECS coached a team of business and engineering students to a first place finish in the second annual HSI Battle of the Brains over the weekend in Austin Texas

The HSI Battle of the Brains is sponsored by KPMG. The competition pits teams of students from Hispanics Serving Institutions in a 24-hour, cross-discipline competition. Finalists “pitch“ their comprehensive solutions to determine the champion.

Congratulations to the UCF team of business and engineering students who took home the $25,000 prize!
