The streets of San Francisco will never be the same—and neither will the four Business Huskies who enjoyed a life-changing international competition and explorations of the city through their membership in Michigan Tech DECA. In April, four College of Business students and members of the Michigan Tech Chapter of DECA Collegiate traveled to San Francisco, California for the 2025 International Career Development Conference hosted by DECA, Inc.
Project management is a crucial career skill—and the best way for students to nail it is by doing it themselves. That’s been Teaching Professor Roger Woods’ approach for the past seven years at the helm of a College of Business capstone course that challenges Huskies to take on a real-world scenario and provide solutions in the form of a professional project plan.
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.
