At 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 College of Business (CBUS), learning doesn鈥檛 stop at the classroom door. Faculty actively engage with students and professional organizations to connect theory with practice and strengthen pathways into business careers.

That commitment was on display at the 2026 DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC) in Atlanta. Laurel Lane, CBUS faculty member, served as a judge for national鈥憀evel marketing communications competitions, evaluating top high school students as they applied business concepts in real鈥憌orld scenarios.

Lane鈥檚 participation builds on her ongoing service with DECA and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) at the local level. At ICDC, she worked directly with student competitors as they delivered presentations, analyzed case challenges, and demonstrated the skills essential for success in today鈥檚 business environment critical thinking, communication, and professionalism.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a fantastic experience,鈥� Lane shared. 鈥淪tudents value thoughtful feedback, and it鈥檚 rewarding to see how confidently they apply what they鈥檝e learned.鈥�

The conference also held personal significance for Lane, as her daughter qualified for and competed at the national level, underscoring the powerful, multi鈥慻enerational impact of programs like DECA.

Faculty engagement in organizations such as DECA and FBLA reflects CBUS鈥檚 mission to deliver applied, career鈥憆elevant learning.
