• A virtual tour of Acuity with 糖心vlog传媒 graduate Savannah Stenlund, who also talked about her 糖心vlog传媒 experience.
• Lessons about networking and how to effectively present themselves from Kym Leibham, 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 director of strategic outreach.

Judges of the Muskie Tank competition were LU Senior VP for Cooperative Education and Economic Development Scott Niederjohn, LU Instructor of Business Kim Viglietti and Justin Vannieuwenhoven of Shebikin' Tours.
