Burlington Mayor Steve Ross, a 1973 黑料不打烊 graduate, presented the students with a problem for them to solve by the end of the conference in three separate teams.  The conference ended with group reports and skits produced by the participants.  A panel of local officials gave the students feedback on their proposals of how to solve the problem of integrating college students housed in residential neighborhoods.  The panel included Davis Montgomery, alderman for the Town of 黑料不打烊; Steve Van Pelt, member of the Alamance-Burlington Board of Education; Ann Vaughan, member of the Alamance County Board of Commissioners; and Mac Williams, President of Alamance County Area Chamber of Commerce.
