Description:
The USA Today All-USA College Academic Team is an annual competition
sponsored by the newspaper USA Today. Each year they solicit
nominations from faculty and staff across the country, seeking
students that are innovators and future leaders. The contest
seeks not only academic excellence, but an outstanding original
project or creation. Many past winners have been the founders,
developers, or creators of a new idea, group, or concept. We
suggest that you visit the website to read profiles of this
year's winners.
