Deca State Champs Again From Kettering Communications Kettering’s chapter went head-tohead against students from University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Michigan Tech, Valparaiso University, Grand Valley, Central Michigan, Northwood, Davenport (Grand Rapids), Delta College and Grand Rapids Community College. Each year Kettering students earn some of the highest honors at this event. At the conference, students took exams, solved current and practical business case study problems, wrote business plans, and role-played with industry judges. Of the 13 Kettering students who competed this year, seven were new to the competition and had never competed before at Collegiate deca. Kettering students are now qualified to attend the International Collegiate deca Career Development Conference in Salt Lake City, April 20–26. Collegiate deca is a student organization focused on
developing future business leaders. The four cornerstones of deca are career awareness, civic consciousness, social intelligence, and leadership development with competitive events in Business, Design, Entrepreneurship, Finance & Accounting, Food Service & Culinary, Hospitality & Travel, Information Technology, Management, and Marketing & Sales. Besides the annual State and International Career Development Conferences in the spring, Collegiate deca also sponsors a Leadership Conference in the fall.
Kettering students raise funds by selling snacks in the Department of Business lobby. The money helps to offset the registration fees and travel money needed to attend the conferences. For more information on Kettering’s involvement and for award recipients, go to www.kettering.edu/news/decastate-champs-again.
