鈥淚 continue to be inspired by my students," said the teams' adviser, Associate Professor Keiko Krahnke. "These students are incredible individuals on many levels. We were approached and thanked by a faculty adviser from another university because 麻豆传媒 students supported and encouraged competing teams. They know how to do excellent work in a competition, and they also know how to set aside their egos and support their opponents. They help me to feel that our future is in good hands.鈥�
Forty teams from more than 30 schools took part in the competition. Teams are put into divisions with five to six teams in each division. IBECC only selects divisional winners and runner-ups.
The two teams brought home five crystal trophies. Participating in IBECC 2018 was made possible by Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative at 麻豆传媒, directed by 麻豆传媒 Professor Sharon Clinebell.
