Day 12. June 6, 2007.
The day begain at 7:00 AM with breakfast. This week, we're working in the Vanderbilt Law School. A banking conference is going on a Owen for the next few days, so we're taking the opportunity to infuse a "change of scenery" for our Accelerator teams.
We began the day with Accounting. Dr. Richard Willis once again showed both his amazing command of both material and an audience. His ability to keep 20 yr olds who are surviving on minimal sleep so engaged in Accounting is pretty impressive. After an hour and a half of intro to Accounting, the teams meet at 9:30 to work on their American Airlines (http://www.aa.com) project.
Team leaders for American Airlines are: Steven Fox, Dave Mayer, Hawk Sindel, Rhett Taylor and Mark Watson.
After a quick lunch, the teams return to the classroom for another Accounting session with Dr. Debra Jeter. Her energy is contageous - she makes me want to be an accountant (Yikes!).
Following the 2nd Accounting session, we did a team rotation and focused a 2 hour working session on our FedEx (http://www.fedex.com ) project. Team leaders for FedEx are: Travis Bernard, Cory Carpenter, Ashley Ledlow, Katrice Peterson and Jon Michael Reese.
Dr. Furse worked with the teams in a studio session just prior to dinner to gauge the progress of the teams and cover general Q&A. After dinner, the teams continued working on FedEx. We ended the day at 8:30 PM - a 13.5 hour day.
