This competition, sponsored by Norfolk Southern, is open to undergraduates in the Poole College of Management. Students may participate online through February 29, 11:55 PM.

The online competition will help students prepare for interviews and future employment by having students practice clear, concise, and effective communication skills, as well as learn how to make satisfactory first impressions and create professional demeanors.

The process is quite simple. To get started:
