DISPLAY OF CBA TALENT

Poster Competition Format

Round One took place as a poster competition (very similar to a science fair). Teams designed research posters that would effectively display their research, analyses, and recommendations as they verbally presented their findings to a series of different groups of judges. Each team was given 15 minutes to present and answer questions from judges, presenting a total of four times throughout the event. At the end of Round One, students and judges were provided a free lunch from a food truck paid for by the 2022-2023 Capstone Cup sponsors.

Formal Showcase

Five or six teams from Round One were selected to showcase their strategic recommendations in a formal slide deck presentation that took place in the Mammel Hall auditorium. Teams were given 12 minutes to present, followed by a Q&A session from the panel of judges made up of employees from the 2022-2023 Capstone Cup sponsors.

Efforts Rewarded

To recognize students’ efforts, sponsors furnished a variety of amazing prizes for the first, second, and third place teams, as well as the finalist teams. Prizes included Yeti coolers, Bluetooth speakers, soundbars, massage guns, Amazon and Spotify gift cards, and a variety of strategy board games including Risk, Ticket to Ride, and Battleship.

Professional Headshots

Since 2020, the Capstone Cup has been able to provide professional headshots for all students due to the generous support from the competition’s sponsors. Partnering with UNO’s Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), sponsor funds are used to invest in professional photos for all Capstone Cup competitors to further enhance the value of this experience for students. Entering the workforce with an updated headshot provides UNO CBA graduates with a competitive edge as they begin their careers.
