The Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Department (AOSC) in the College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences and the Finance Department in the Robert H. Smith School of Business announce the fifth year of a competition intended to stimulate collaboration among undergraduate students to address the challenges of climate change. This competition recognizes the growing importance of effective partnerships in solving these major climate-related problems. Students from all majors are welcome! To be eligible, teams must be composed of two to four current UMCP undergraduate students, with the condition that at least one team member be an AOSC major and at least one team member be a Smith School of Business Finance major. A third or fourth team member may be a major in any department. If you want to participate but don’t know students in other departments, we will help you join a team. Just add your information to the form below.
The teams will present the results of their projects to a group of faculty and students near the end of the Spring semester (Date TBD), who will determine the winners. The awards will be $2000 for each member of the 1st place team, $1500 for each member of the 2nd place team, and $1000 for each member of the 3rd place team. Members of non-placing teams will each receive $500.
