The 2018 Hacks with Friends was a fantastic event! More than 125 IT professionals from across Michigan IT gathered at the Ross School of Business to create 22 amazing hacks. The teams were diverse with skill sets from across the entire IT career spectrum, including developers, web designers, data analysts, user experience experts, and business analysts—just to name a few. Participants came from units across campus including HITS, ITS, Michigan Medicine, the University Library, LSA, Ross School of Business, Student Life, CAEN and the Office of Development. Each hack/project was built from scratch to completion during the two-day event, March 1–2, and presented for final judging on Friday afternoon.
