We are working on uploading the videos from 2008, but in the meantime, videos from the Sales Presentation and Personnel Management competitive events at SCD/2007 are available for viewing by clicking on the following link: http://av.anr.msu.edu/planet/

There are two folders- one for the Sales Presentation competition and one for the Personnel Management competition. The videos within these folders are labeled numerically and follow the same order as they did at the event.
