Breezeline Supports Students in Competition to Bridge Digital Divide
24 Abril 2024 - 8:43AM
Student teams from leading university business schools will present
their proposals to help close the digital divide and promote
broadband adoption during a live Broadband Equity Challenge
competition on April 25.
Students enrolled in MBA programs at Pace University’s Lubin
School of Business, Drexel University’s Lebow School of Business
and Denver University’s Daniels School of Business will participate
in the live, virtual competition before a judges panel of industry
executives and an audience including corporate recruiters.
The teams will compete for a top prize of $5,000, which can be
used to help offset tuition costs. To prepare for the competition,
participating students conduct extensive research and receive
insights about broadband and emerging technologies from industry
experts.
Judges for the spring competition are Shaun Blake, vice
president products and programming for Breezeline; Marva Johnson,
group vice president for Charter Communications; and Nomi Bergman,
president, Advance/Newhouse Partnership.
Breezeline is a lead sponsor, and sponsorship proceeds will help
defray event costs and fund prizes for the student participants. In
addition, sponsoring companies receive student resumes so that they
can be considered for future employment opportunities after
graduation.
The competition, now in its 14th year, is held in the spring and
fall semesters of each school year. The event is produced and
hosted by Craig Leddy, media and technology educator and president
of Interactive TV Works, Inc.
