DECA Advisors are encouraged to include Collegiate DECA Case Studies in the curriculum: “Collegiate DECA’s industry-validated Case Studies are aligned with marketing, business management/administration, finance and hospitality/tourism career clusters…the Case Studies contribute to students being career ready when they graduate.”

The National Collegiate DECA organization offers a variety of Guidelines, Performance Indicators, Sample Exams and Events in every topic from Accounting, Corporate Finance, Hospitality, Starting/Growing a Business to Ethics, Event Planning and International Business.  To review and/or download this information, visit this website:

Guest speakers add value to the classroom…it is somewhat of a challenge to find individuals that provide quality information while engaging or connecting with the learners.  If you are in need of the same, check out the founder of “Daily Life University:”  https://dailylifeuniversity.wordpress.com/

Mission Statement: Daily Life University is a community of dedicated life-long learners. Through studying Mentality, Gratitude, Health, Relationships, Finances, Choices, and Spirituality, D.L.U. aims to help others rise above mediocrity to live an Extraordinary Life!

Jason shares aspects of launching/marketing a business as well as “success secrets” from his book, “Conquer The Post College Passion Slump!”  The students (and this Instructor) thoroughly enjoyed this presentation.
