SWCC Phi Beta Lambda Students Receive National Awards
Southwest Virginia Community College’s PBL students recently attended the National Leadership Conference held in Anaheim, California. Students from four- year universities and two-year colleges representing the U.S, Bahamas, Bermuda, DoDDS Europe, Grand Cayman Islands and the Virgin Islands competed for the national awards. SWCC students brought home 5 national awards, which was the record number for any of the chapters from Virginia. James Heifner won first place in Digital Skills and 7th place in CyberSecurity; James Kulchar won 10th place in Financial Concepts; Chrystal Hunsaker won 10th place in Financial Analysis and Decision Making; Miranda Mutter won 9th place in Public Speaking and was recognized as Who’s Who in PBL.
In addition to the competition at the conference, students attended a variety of leadership sessions. The trip wouldn’t have been complete without tours of Disneyworld, Hollywood, Universal Studios, and Beverly Hills.
PBL would like to thank all our business partners and individuals who made the trip possible by their support of the many fund raisers and for their generous donations.
