| Congratulations to Nancy G. Villasenor, an MBA student at Robert Morris College, for winning the ACMP Go-Getter Prize. Nancy won a KPMG “Think Big” Laptop Backpack by Ogio. Congratulations also goes out to the members of “Team 3” for winning the All Aboard! Team-Building Exercise. This team was able to devise a strategy to get the most individuals to stand on three phone books for the longest amount of time without touching the ground. Who says business professionals can’t be athletes too? |
