Go to Post Well I have to admit, most of the people on our team are geeks. I think that it's a title of honor considering it might as well be "boss" or "head supervisor" or something along those lines. - Cyberguy34000 [more]

Starting a College-sponsored Team

For those of you interested in getting your colleges involved, I offer my help. Having sponsored a team for 12 years, WPI's commitment is pretty secure. It remains that way because the university sees that the connection makes good business sense (certainly a compelling argument for any private school). For continuing, enthusiastic support, I believe you need to go beyond a student activities type of organization. You need to convince the faculty, Provost, University Relations, Alumni Activities, and especially Admissions that this is a good deal for the school. And it really is!

The WPI/Team 190 model may not fit every team, but I would be happy to talk to anyone interested in the data that compels our administration to continue sole funding of the team, running our annual BattleCry@WPI, providing annual $100K+ scholarships, and conducting the rest of our 12-month program schedule.
