\n
Among these students were Matt Ropp, Heidi Boese, and Lindsay Lehman who participated in the annual student competition and won. <\/p>\n
Students from different colleges were given a case involving an actual business and their task was to find solutions to the most important barriers and challenges. <\/p>\n
The groups are then judged and a winner announced. Heidi Boese reported that her group prepared a PowerPoint that lasted around 20 minutes and they explained their plan for the business to a panel of judges. <\/p>\n
The convention was a good experience for her and it helped apply the material she was learning in class to a real business. <\/p>\n
Convention a great opportunity for students<\/h3>\n
Along with putting business concepts into practice, the convention offers a great opportunity to network with Christian business owners from all across North America and to meet students from other Mennonite Colleges. <\/p>\n
The highlights of the trip for Heidi included listening to speakers who were successful in business, meeting new people, and spending a weekend in California. <\/p>\n
It was an enjoyable experience for the students who attended; through the seminars and various speakers it was demonstrated how real organizations become successful. <\/p>\n
For a few of the EMU students, the San Jose MEDA Convention wasn’t their first; some of them attended the 2008 Convention in Columbus, Ohio. <\/p>\n
The next opportunity will be in fall 2010 at the Calgary Convention in Alberta, Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
