Eight Park University Information and Computer Science (ICS) students recently completed the Cerner Software Development Life Cycle course, with a four-person team receiving the top award in the I-Television (I-TV) Category. Park faculty member, Steve Hallman, Ph.D., assistant professor of ICS, served as the team's advisor and course professor.

There were eight student teams representing Park University, William Jewell College, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Kansas State University, and Kansas State University-Purdue. The teams' objective was to design and develop a working solution from one of the following categories: Medical PDA application, I-Television, Headboard, or a Rapid Response. On May 2, 2007, the eight teams presented their solutions to the Cerner executives. The executives/judges scored the teams according to eight criteria, ranging from solution functionality to the ability to answer questions.

Park's BluSozo team, which included ICS students Janice Jn. Baptiste, Shawn Henderson, Bavitha Vinod and Nilla Pin, performed exceptionally well, competing and winning the top award in the Cerner I-Television Category Competition. The winning Park team received a $300 gift certificate for Amazon.com for their efforts.
