3rd Place in the National SWENext Video Challenge 2022

One of the most asked questions by high school SWENexters is how to select a college so SWENext created a challenge for universities across the U.S. to create 3 minute videos that highlight their school, SWE section, their engineering department, and what makes it all so great. The CSU SWE section submitted an entry and won 3rd place!
