Thought this was interesting and a great idea. Kudos to VT for organizing.

Seems like the ACC Academic Consortium is maturing as well.

Well, at least since the last time I paid attention to it:
• the website (including the logo and actual name they call the ACC AC instead of ACCIAC)
the focus on some of the programs such as
• the sponsorship and professional production of the ACC Inventure Prize (seems like that may be a candidate to be broadcast on the ACC Network).
• the promotion and direct sponsorship of the ACC Debate Championship
• direct financial support of the Distinguished Lecturer series
• the Executive Leadership Series

And continuation of some of the previous existing programs like the Undergrad Research Conference, Leadership Conference, Student Federal Relations Trip to DC, and the Fellowship program that provides small grants to students at each school.

And then things like this Smithsonian exhibit.
