2009 RESULTS: The team of students from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Mich., was honored for its first-place finish in the inaugural iOMe Challenge with a reception on Capitol Hill in Washington D. C.
The team met with members of Congress to discuss its winning essay and participated in a reception with dignitaries, policy-makers and retirement experts.

The iOMe Challenge asked college and university students across the country to create an essay and a video focusing on what life will be like in retirement 40 years from now if our current experience and practices remained the same. And potentially, if any changes should be considered in policy and in how our society prepares for retirement.
The entries were judged by a Blue Ribbon panel for originality, content, style, economic soundness, educational value and accessibility to young Americans.
