Bloomsburg University’s chapter of Pi Omega Pi placed fifth nationally at the honor society’s national competition in Chicago. Pi Omega Pi is the National Business Education Teacher Honor Society, which has promoted scholarship and service in the area of business education for more than 80 years.
“This experience helped to prepare me for the next step of my professional career by providing me with networks and resources,” said Lindsay Cassel, Pi Omega Pi president. “It gave me the chance to see the struggles that other students in Business Education Programs deal with along with what has helped them. It also gave me the chance to hear from Business Education Professionals who have been in the program a lot longer than I have. They were able to give their insight on life and the profession itself."
Prior to the national competition, each chapter was required to complete three projects-local, state and national related to furthering the profession. The BU chapter redesigned the national website, volunteered at the Pennsylvania Business Education Annual Conference and served as conference assistants at the PA Future Business Leaders of America State Leadership Conference. In addition, students presented a workshop on “Active Learning.”
