DECA primarily participates in case study based competitions in business, communications, and hospitality disciplines. Our chapter also likes to work on professional development, community service, and we'll have to do a whole lot of fundraising to offset the costs of the conferences we go to for competition. It may sound all serious, but it gets to be a lot of fun at these conferences because competition takes such a small portion of your time. The rest of your time you get to become better acquainted with people from UCF, across Florida (state conference in March, in Orlando), and all over the world (international conference in April, this year to be held in Washington, DC).
To learn more about DECA as a whole explore the national website (
