Pfeiffer students win Phi Beta Lambda awards

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 — Several Pfeiffer University students brought home awards during the Annual Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) National Leadership Confer-ence in Anaheim, Calif. June 21-24.

PBL is a national association of college and university students who are interested in careers in business. Its mission is to bring business and education together in a positive working relationship through innovative leadership and career development programs.

During the conference, 1,776 PBL members, advisors and professional division members were in attendance representing most of the 50 state chapters. President and CEO, Jean Buckley, said this event attracted the largest delegation ever in attendance at a national conference.

Students attended seminars and general assemblies and participated in competitive events that included objective tests, presentations and interviews. During the opening general session, participants heard from keynote speaker Frank Maguire, one of America’s most knowledgeable authorities on corporate culture, productivity, and communications, who was the original senior vice president of industrial relations for FedEx.

Also during the conference, Pfeiffer students were recognized as being some of the top students in the country in their competitive events.

Pfeiffer students recognized were:

Chris Carey of Hanover Township, Pa. placed seventh in Help Desk and ninth in Project Management;

Matthew Smith of Nor-wood placed fifth in Macroeconomics;

Kristen Welsh of New London competed in the Business Communication category;

Sam Miller of Albemarle made the semifinals in the area of Future Business Executive. He also received the organization’s Presi-dent’s Award in the Career and Membership Achieve-ment Program (CMAP), a national level honor that focuses on total association leadership, business skills and community involvement.

Miller is one of two recipients of the President’s Award in North Carolina and among only six nationwide.

Students who attended the California conference made fund-raising a top priority. To offset the costs, the Pfeiffer chapter sponsored a Boston Butt Sale as well as solicited donations from families and friends.

Pfeiffer’s PBL chapter thanks its fundraising pat-rons and Albemarle Sweet Shop for contributions.
