Imperial Barrel Award Wrap-up

This past weekend, the UW AAPG Imperial Barrel Award team traveled to Pittsburgh, PA, to compete in the AAPG Eastern Section semi-finals. After eight weeks of work on the data and presentation, the team felt confident of their end product. The competing teams gave their presentations to the judges and overall responses were positive, both for all teams and for Wisconsin's presentation. Even though Wisconsin was a first-time competitor in the IBA competition, the team placed second in the Eastern Section. The competition was a great learning and overall experience, and the UW Student Chapter hopes to field a team in the coming years.
