Makayla Wilkey, Alexis McIff and Addison GarrisonEach year, many students have the opportunity to be awarded for excellence in the national Phi Beta Lambda competition, which is designed to help students demonstrate and strengthen their skills in numerous business-related fields. Southern Utah University’s Dixie L. Leavitt School of Business is proud to recognize the outstanding performance of three students who participated in this year’s Chicago competition.

These students put a lot of time and energy into their respective categories in order to bring out the best in themselves, present themselves well, and overcome pre-show stress. According to contestant Alexis McIff, this is usually the most stressful moment of the entire process, but all three students representing SUU performed extremely well throughout the competition.

McIff, a senior marketing major, worked with another SUU participant, Addison Garrison, to receive first place in Marketing Concepts, fifth place in Organizational Behavior and Leadership, and fourth place in Business Presentations. Garrison, also an advanced marketing student, finished 7th in business communications in addition to 4th in business presentations with McIff. Freshman biology major Makayla Wilkey finished second in public speaking and ninth in help desk in both objective testing and role play. Participating in this competition in Chicago is a great experience for every student.

“I love seeing so many college students from all over the world come together to communicate and compete on things we all care about,” Mackiff said. “I love seeing people who don’t know each other get together to help each other and become friends.”

Despite the stress and worry throughout the process, each student proved that the time and effort put into their individual presentations paid off in the end. Garrison, Wilkey and McIff have all demonstrated their knowledge and skills while demonstrating ambition and professionalism in the process. The School of Business takes great pride in their achievements and positions and their apparent hard work. We can’t wait to see what these students continue to do both inside and outside the university.

SUU’s Dixie L. Leavitt School of Business is committed to providing students with a rigorous, relevant, and innovative curriculum that focuses on fundamental and enduring business principles, providing students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. The environment is designed to help students shape their ambitions and find their orientation as responsible and ethical individuals, both personally and professionally.
