Prairie View A&M University Panthers won this year’s HBCU Battle of the Brains competition in Austin on March 10, 2019, during South by Southwest (SXSW). PVAMU’s team conquered well-known HBCU rivalries battling it out, winning $25,000 – and bragging rights. The event’s mission is to promote the talented business and STEM students within the African American community while highlighting the benefits of SXSW, as well as the technology industry, in an engaging and dynamic way.

The competition pits groups of students from HBCUs around the country, who develop solutions to a complex issue, then pitch their solution in front of judges, as well as a live audience. PVAMU’s team of five students, Dannick Boyogueno, Amber Diehl, Oluseun John, Uchechukwu Uboh, and Seif Hediya from the College of Business and the College of Engineering, reigned as victors.

“This win shows not only how talented and competitive our students are, but the power that comes from having a diverse interdisciplinary team,” said Munir Quddus, dean of the College of Business.
