One of the highpoints of my professional responsibilities is serving as the faculty advisor to the DECA Collegiate Chapter. With a full measure of pride and happiness, I had the privilege of accompanying 10 WVU students to the 2018 DECA International Career and Development Conference held in Washington DC in April. The experience was incredible from informative workshops and educational sessions to to case competitions. On top of that, WVU had two teams that were named a Top 10 Finalist in their respective competition categories. None of this would have been possible without the financial support of the Mountaineer Nation. One behalf of ten grateful students, thank you for making this possible.
