But the students' charisma, confidence and sense of humor also helped to secure the $1,000 first-place prize.
"The night before the competition, our coaches told us that which ever team has the most fun wins," Frost said. "We were clearly having the most fun."
"The students injected a great deal of humor into their answers. They kept the judges engaged and roaring with laughter," Dischiave said.
The students will split the prize money among themselves. Each team member will take home $250. iSchool Dean Elizabeth Liddy will hand the students their checks at an upcoming ceremony, yet to be formally announced.
WPI won second place with a prize of $500, and Central Connecticut State University won third place and $250.
The Dischiaves intend to find more opportunities like this for iSchool and other SU students in the future.
"This kind of competition makes for a great interview," Susan Dischiave said. "We want more students to get the same experience. This could be an easy ticket for a job."
