This year, over 100 Collegiate DECA members participated in the Collegiate DECA Virtual Case Simulation competition, sponsored by long-time DECA partner, Knowledge Matters.
In this interactive, digital simulation, participants took on the role of entrepreneurs building their own business. Participants chose their product offerings, set prices, acquired resources, organized business layout, built their team and created effective advertisements.
Congratulations to the top three winners, each who received cash awards courtesy of Knowledge Matters.
- Tiana Heitmann, University of Wisconsin - Whitewater
- George Zimbric, University of Wisconsin - Whitewater
- Ellie Goeden, University of Wisconsin - Whitewater
The winners will be recognized on stage during Collegiate DECA's 2026 International Career Development Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.
