Each year, several students are given the opportunity to win awards for excellence in the National Phi Beta Lambda Competition, which is designed to help students demonstrate and strengthen their skills in a variety of business-related fields. Southern Utah University’s Dixie L. Leavitt School of Business is proud to recognize the exceptional performance of three students who participated in this year’s competition in Chicago.
These students put a lot of time into their assignments to put their best foot forward and present themselves well and overcome the pressure that comes before the presentation. This is usually the most stressful time of the process, according to participant Alexis McKeefe, but all three students who represented SUU performed exceptionally well in the competition.
McKeefe, a senior marketing major, won first place in Marketing Concepts, fifth in Organizational Behavior and Leadership, and fourth in Business Presentation with fellow SU participant Addison Garrison. Garrison, also a senior marketing major, won seventh place in business communications, in addition to a fourth place tie with McIff in business presentation. Makayla Wilkie, a freshman biology major, won second place in public speaking as well as ninth place in assistant desk for both the objective test and role play. Participating in this competition in Chicago was a great experience for every student.
“I love seeing so many college students from around the world come together to network and compete on something we all care about,” McKeefe said. “I enjoy seeing strangers come together to help each other and form friendships.
Despite all the stress and anxiety involved in the process, each student found that the time and hard work put into their individual approach was worth it in the end. Garrison, Wilkie and McKeefe all brought their knowledge and skills to bear on the ambition and professionalism of the process. The Business School is very proud of their achievements and placements and their hard work. We can’t wait to see what these students are doing here at university and beyond.
SUU’s Dixie L. Leavitt School is committed to providing students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed through a rigorous, relevant and innovative curriculum focused on essential and sustainable business principles. The environment is designed to help students shape their aspirations and gain personal and professional direction as responsible and ethical individuals. Learn more about the Dixie L.
