"This competition will not only pave the way for this regions economy but it will also motivate our students", Region 200 Executive Director Bryan David says.

The School of Business strives not only to train champions in the workplace, but also, as our motto states, to train champions for Christ. This competition will allow our students to participate in an event that will not only get their talents and abilities notices, but also be a witness unto the other schools and judges. The Center for Entrepreneurship will continue to work with these students throughout this process and further develop their skills and hopefully open the door for other business students to participate.
