2027 Winter Classic Invititational Student Cluster Competition Team Application

 

NEW School Version - if your school hasn't done this before, you have the right form

Please give us your contact information
If your team is accepted into the Winter Classic, what would be your role?

A team in the Winter Classic has a maximum of six undergraduate students. Teams can include post-grad students, but each one counts for two undergraduate slots. Each team also needs to have a faculty advisor. The faculty advisor doesn't have many duties, but is the representative of the university. 

One of the requirements to have your application evaluated is that you identify a faculty advisor and at least three members of the team and provide their contact details. If you have more than three members identified now, please include them on the form below. (you'll be able to add more team members if you need to later)
