Top graduate students present plans for
emerging technologies before a panel of industry judges to earn a
$5,000 prize
Breezeline, formerly Atlantic Broadband, the nation’s
eighth-largest cable operator, is a lead sponsor of "Interactive
Case Competition," a semester-long competition held twice each year
in which teams of graduate business students work to solve
real-life case studies pertaining to the cable industry.
For the fall competition, teams from NYU, Columbia, Pace and The
University of Maryland will present their plans for emerging
technologies, including 5G, 10G, AI and the Metaverse before a
panel of top media and tech industry judges during a live virtual
event tomorrow at 12:30 p.m.
With support from industry mentors, student participants have
conducted research and developed presentations outlining their
plans.
"Today’s students will help shape the future of technology,"
said Julie Sullivan, Breezeline’s Vice President of Marketing, who
has previously served as a mentor for students involved in the
competition. "I’ve been impressed by their out-of-the-box thinking
and how they’ve developed innovative ideas through their research
and collaboration with fellow students."
Sponsorship dollars go directly to winning student teams as
prize money to support their education. The students also submit
their biographies to company recruiters for potential internship
positions and employment opportunities. Over the last ten years, 40
percent of student competitors have moved on to jobs with top media
and tech companies.
Interactive Case Competition was founded in 2010 by cable and
broadband industry educator Craig Leddy to increase awareness of
digital media opportunities, to foster creative thinking and to
recruit new talent in the industry.
