The mission statement for DECA at Southern Utah University is to prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management; to not only cultivate their knowledge and skills but to develop them professionally for careers as the future business leaders of the world.
DECA gives students real-world scenarios that will help them develop and cultivate the skills they’ll need in future careers, no matter what industry they go into. The club gives students the opportunity to utilize critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving skills while networking with professionals. If there is any way to jumpstart your education to your future career, DECA is the way to do it.
Our state competition is coming up soon on February 15-16 in Salt Lake City. This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself and use what you’ve already learned in the classroom and apply to real-world scenarios while networking with professionals across all business related industries. We will also be meeting a couple times before our competition, dates TBA. If you qualify at the state competition, you will also have the opportunity to travel to Orlando, Florida to compete in the National Competition!
