Oct 2003 – ASEE Today

MINITAB WINS ASEE CORPORATE TRIVIA CHALLENGE

ASEE boosted support for its corporate partners with the first-ever ASEE corporate development booth at the annual conference. The booth provided exhibitors with information on ASEE’s various corporate opportunities. As part of this initiative, ASEE held a trivia raffle designed to educate corporate representatives about the various benefits of working with ASEE. The winner of this raffle was Minitab, which will receive discounted booth space at next year’s conference and free advertising. Minitab is a leader in delivering statistical software and services for quality improvement, education, and research. For 30 years, Minitab Statistical Software has provided quick, easy, and reliable data analysis solutions for both business and academia. For more information, visit http://www.minitab.com/.
