Student Group Seeks Survey-Takers

A group of McIntire School of Commerce students taking an entrepreneurship class is seeking people to take a survey about lunchtime takeout and delivery options. It took me about five minutes, maybe less, making it a pretty good procrastination activity.

Students, if you’re out there, let us know what the results are.

U.Va. Class Scores Big on Anti-Drinking Ad Campaign

The Washington Post reported over the weekend about a U.Va. marketing class that was given a difficult task: Come up with an ad campaign that targets binge drinking.

Of 142 entrants in the National Student Advertising Competition - sponsored by the Century Council, a nonprofit group funded by distillers that has been working against underage drinking and drunken driving - the U.Va. team was among the finalists. A team from Syracuse ended up taking top honors, but the Post posted both U.Va. and Syracuse’s videos on its site.

Here they are:

Hear the cheering over at McIntire?

U.Va.’s undergraduate business school has JUST been named No. 1 by Business Week! It pushed up ahead of Wharton, which dropped to No. 3. Notre Dame took second place. McIntire has held the No. 2 spot for several years behind Wharton.

Congratulations! See UVA Today Friday for the details.
