Team Sycamore Racing

Earlier today I attended a presentation about the Motor Sports Minor available at ISU. The program is a collaboration of the colleges of business, technology and nursing, health and human services. Although I only attended because it was required for a class I came away from it impressed by the efforts of the faculty and students. The program is very unique and aims to prepare students in all aspects of the racing world. This program can also be beneficial for individuals who aren't familiar with racing. One of the highlights of the program is Team Sycamore Racing, which is run solely by ISU students. Team Sycamore Racing is a great example of motivated students working together to better themselves and the university. The competitive nature of racing and the applicable experiences students receive, help prepare individuals for any job even those not related to racing.  In the future, hopefully similar opportunities will be available in other areas and help improve the university and the students it graduates.
