Seven Huntsman School Students Place at Virtual DECA Competition

The state competition included students from almost every major University in the state of Utah. “Our students had a great experience and learned a great deal,” said Alex Romney, Marketing and Strategy Assistant Professor. “They were energized by the opportunity.”
