History was made this semester at Concordia University St. Paul with the official launch of our very own DECA Chapter. While we may be the new kids on the block, our members wasted no time making their mark on the state stage. Recently, nine of our students traveled to the DECA State Competition to face off against veteran programs from colleges and universities across the region. The results? A total sweep. Every single CSP competitor placed in the Top 3 of their respective events, earning them a spot at the International Career Development Conference!
