ATLANTA – Utah State University Delta Epsilon Chi members bring home 1st and 2nd place from the International Career Development Conference. Julia Roberts, junior in pre-medical biology, took 2nd in marketing management and JP Parrish, junior in public relations, placed 1st in retail management.
This four day international conference took place in Atlanta, Ga. Utah State students took part in leadership development seminars and exercised practical application of their marketing and management skills through role plays and case studies.
Students Competed in events such as Hospitality to Advertising Campaign. There are 18 events in total. The Judge in each of these events takes the role of a professional while the student presents a solution to a case they have been given or prepared beforehand. Some events are accompanied by 100 question competency tests while others take months of preparation. Entrepreneurship event participants present a business plan to the judge as if they were asking for financial support.
Each event provides students an innovative and unique way to gain real world business experience. The organization offers many real life experiences in competition as well as in leadership. Many businesses recognize this value and make it a point to hire these excellently prepared students.
Delta Epsilon Chi is the college division of DECA Inc. More than 14,000 students from 230 college campuses participate in the organization. The institutions include community colleges, technical colleges, four–year colleges and universities.
Delta Epsilon Chi enhances the student's college experience by providing recognition and leadership activities directly related to academic study. Delta Epsilon Chi focuses on developing leaders in marketing, management, and entrepreneurship.
