A team from the University of Central Arkansas placed second in a national case study competition sponsored by StudentAffairs.com.
“This is another example of UCA students achieving excellence among the best universities in the nation,” said UCA President Lu Hardin.
The UCA team included Brandi Mair, Rikki Turner, Casey Stephens, and Steven Yeagley, who recently completed their first year in UCA’s College Student Personnel Services and Administration master’s degree program. Dr. Charlotte Cone, UCA’s assistant provost, served as the advisor for the UCA team, and Dr. John W. Smith is the program coordinator for the College Student Personnel Services and Administration program, which is located in the Department of Leadership Studies within UCA’s College of Education.
Forty teams submitted final presentations for this year’s competition, which required the development of a PowerPoint presentation on “Hot Topics” in technology.
The top five teams were:
1. Florida State University
2. University of Central Arkansas
3. University of Texas
4. New York University
5. North Carolina State University
A team from UCA finished third in the competition last year.
