MIS Hosts Spring Creek High School FBLA
On Wednesday, Oct. 30, the College of Business and the MIS Department hosted a visit from a group of students from the Spring Creek High School FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) in 1400 Bate.
During their visit, students were welcomed by Dr. John Reisch. Dr. Richard Hauser spoke to the students about the College’s MIS Department.
Kevin Williams from COB’s Advising Center talked about what makes the COB stand out and Dr. Michael Harris told them amazing stories about student entrepreneurs and the Pirate Entrepreneurship Challenge, as well as the new BS degree program in Entrepreneurship.
Dr. April Reed also spoke with students about this past summer’s MIS STEM Camp. Tarrick Cox, the Sr. Associate Director of ECU Admissions talked to students about what it means to be a Pirate, admissions requirements and the admissions process.
Finally, Harold Wise, the faculty advisor for the ECU FBLA group and several FBLA officers discussed how FBLA at the college level is different and their participation in FBLA national competitions. Then the FBLA officers took small groups on a tour of the campus. The Spring Creek students asked plenty of questions.
This was the third year COB hosted FBLA students from Spring Creek.
