Welcome
DECA Members
Welcome DECA members! Saunders College of Business supports everything that you and your club members are learning about in DECA, including business, entrepreneurship, hospitality, marketing and much more.
Since 2011, Saunders has been a proud sponsor of DECA. We continue to find more ways to support DECA teachers and advisors at the national and regional levels. Below are a few examples. We would love to hear from you about how we can support your academic business activities.
We invite you to take advantage of the student resources and we hope to see you on campus one day. Until then, we invite you to visit us online and explore our undergraduate programs, co-op opportunities and student success stories so you can discover all that Saunders has to offer.
