On February 18th and 19th, four of our members represented CMC at the University of Texas at Austin for this stock pitch competition featuring teams from top institutions across the nation.
 
"In preparation for this event, my team leaned heavily on the knowledge we gained through training sessions taught by our faculty advisor, Greg Edwards. We were also able to lean on our connections with upperclassman in the club for advice. More than anything, without CMC, we would not have had this great opportunity to gain exposure to national competitions, and build functional and meaningful relationships with students and judges from across the nation."
