I couldn't help giving a quick shout out to Olin's Jeff Stanton (c/o '10 -- wow that feels weird to say, I feel old) for placing as one of the seven winners of a graphic design competition sponsored by Google Earth. With a tag line that read "How would your campus look in 3D? You show us," the contest, shockingly enough, involved creation of a 3D rendering of your home campus using SketchUp.
Teams from seven of the over two hundred schools registered for the competition were selected as winners -- these seven teams are going to be flown out to California to visit Google's campus, and will attend a 3D modeling workshop as part of their visit. Congratulations, Jeff!
Here's a quick peek at some of Jeff's drawings, but for more check out his webpage here.
