 A group of MSU-Meridian business students recently returned from  New York City, where they attended the DECA Collegiate Leadership Academy. At the academy they were exposed to the global business industry in a major market and enhanced their leadership skills via hands-on experiences and workshops. MSU-Meridian’s College DECA organization was formed this semester and this will be the first time the Meridian campus has sent a group to the Leadership Academy. Academic advisors for the group are Dr. Natasha Randle and Dr. Yingge Qu.
