The Michigan Tech College of Business Collegiate DECA Chapter brought a record 13 students to the state Career Development Conference in Bay City, Michigan last month, where nine were recognized as finalists. Five Business Huskies were top-three competitors and now move on to global competition at the International Career Development Conference in San Francisco, California in April.

In addition to developing financial literacy, there’s another strong incentive—cash prizes will be awarded in a stock-picking contest open to all graduate and undergraduate students enrolled this spring semester at Michigan Tech. The first-place winner will receive $500, second place, $300, and third place, $100. An additional $100 prize will be awarded to a randomly selected participant.
