Megan Patel placed fourth in Hospitality Management Case Study.

"Watching Megan, Joshua, and Micaela compete at the national level is something we are incredibly proud of," said Carol Peppers, SRTC FBLA-Collegiate Advisor. "Placing first at the state conference and then representing SRTC in Las Vegas takes real dedication and preparation. These students have shown what is possible when you commit to your goals, and that drive will serve them well long after the competition is over."
