A team of Lang BComm students nabbed top spots in a number of categories at the 2022 virtual DECA competition earlier this week.
Facing stiff competition from other business schools across Canada, the Lang/UofG delegation took home a total of 10 top place finishes, including 1st place in the “Fashion and Retail Management”, “Business Law” and “Sports and Entertainment Marketing” categories.
Collegiate DECA Canada is the largest undergraduate conference in Canada. The virtual competition brings the top universities and colleges in Canada to compete in multiple academic categories through written and oral cases.
Preparing for a competition like the Collegiate DECA Canada requires months of work from the students. Delegates have the opportunity to develop professionally, grow their network, and gain skills that will serve them as they start their careers.
