OSUs Phi Beta Lambda chapter was also selected for several awards, including first place in Public Relations and second place in Outstanding Phi Beta Lambda Chapter.
It feels wonderful to win these awards, said Wynn, a marketing student in the Spears School.
Every person that went with the OSU-Stillwater chapter placed first in at least one of their events. I dont know if any other school could say that. I am very proud of our chapter for our success.
In addition, Sarah Chabinak , senior academic counselor at the Spears School and the adviser for OSUs Phi Beta Lambda chapter, was recognized as the 2010-2011 Outstanding Oklahoma Phi Beta Lambda Adviser.
It was so wonderful to see our students recognized on stage for their efforts, Chabinak said. Even though OSU is a small chapter by number of members, our students continually perform well each year in their competitions and present a professional image as they represent OSU. Our students will perform well at the national conference because of their hard work and the high quality of business education they receive in the Spears School of Business.
