“We are very proud of our delegates for putting in so much effort and passion,” said Alexis Chomiak, President of DECA U Guelph. “After a great showing by Lang at DECA U Ontario, we are excited for Internationals in April!”
With Provincials behind them, the DECA U Guelph team will be turning their focus to the international competition in April, which takes place in Atlanta Georgia from April 22nd to 25th.
Congratulations to the entire DECA U Guelph team on another incredible year.
The success at DECA U Ontario comes on the heels of an impressive start to 2020 for Lang commerce students. Earlier this month, Lang students from JDCC Lang hit the podium four times [1] at JDC Central, the largest undergraduate case competition in Central Canada.
