   All nine students qualify for FBLA-PBL nationals in June Ogden, Utah (March 18, 2014) — Business students from the Ogden/West Haven campus of Stevens-Henager College, a leading provider of career-focused education, competed in the Future Business Leaders of America–Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) state competition last weekend. The college secured 11 first-place finishes, with all nine student representatives earning a spot at the national competition in June. "We are committed to developing marketable and career-oriented individuals. The success our students experience annually at this statewide event demonstrates their level of preparation and readiness to enter the workforce," said Kelly Stone, Stevens-Henager College Ogden's director of career services. "We may have been the smallest college in the competition, but our performance illustrates the high-quality education our students receive." Nine students from the Ogden campus participated in the competition and each achieved outstanding results, taking home 11 first-place awards, which significantly exceeded last year's first-place performance of five first-place finishes. All nine students will travel to the national competition held in Nashville, Tenn., in June. The fast-paced event included a combination of presentations and testing. Winners were determined by a panel of judges. The two-day competition covered more than 15 categories, such as business law, public speaking, hospitality management, cybersecurity, and human resource management, among others.
