An Opportunity for Business Students sent to us
by a PSNK graduate working at Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC):
Here is the information on the PwC xACT competition. Please forward this on to the Business/Accounting faculty and students and see if they are interested in getting involved. The timeline is short - it starts on October 6th and there is a conference that must be attended to start the project. The conference is held at University Park, but if they cannot attend and are interested I can try to get the materials and send them to the students/faculty. Please have them register ASAP if interested.
As I stated when we spoke this weekend, it's a great way to get in front of the PwC partners and recruiters...and it can help PSNKers get into the big 4...
Let me know if you have any questions.

Business is the place where theory is executed in real time. It's a place where decisions are made with consequences, where communication is key, and collaborative, team-oriented thinking is a must. These are the conditions created in the xTREME Games, PwC's tax and accounting campus competitions.
No longer within the safe confines of the classroom, PwC seeks students who are eager to plunge briefly into the environment of the real business world to show what they're made of as critical thinkers, able collaborators and persuasive advisors on important business issues.
No number-crunching exercises, the xTREME Games are focused on high-level issues designed to test and improve your decision-making skills. Detailed accounting or tax knowledge is not required to participate. What is required is your desire to learn, meet people, experience new challenges, and have fun.
Prizes are possible $1000 for winning campus team with the opportunity to compete in national competition. National prize is $10,000 for winning team.
