If you happen to know Reynolds
student Rebecca Hubbard, and you see her around campus with a big smile on her
face, it is there with good reason.
Hubbard was honored with two national
awards at the recent Phi Beta Lambda National Leadership Conference in Chicago
where more than 1,600 of the best and brightest college students from across
the country showcased their talents and vied for the chance to win more than
$81,000 in cash. The competition included events in accounting, business,
leadership and technology. Hubbard took home first place awards in both macro
and micro economics.
Future Business Leaders of
America – Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) is the largest business career student
organization in the world. The postsecondary division reaches over 11,000
college students.
FBLA-PBL's National Awards
Program recognizes and rewards excellence in a broad range of business and
career-related areas. Through state-based competition at the spring State
Leadership Conferences, students compete in events testing their business
knowledge and skills. Top state winners then are eligible to compete for honors
at the National Leadership Conference each summer. Reynolds was well
represented at this year’s National Leadership Conference by three students who
had won statewide competitions.
For each of her awards Hubbard received
a trophy and a scholarship of $700. She
joined Phi Beta Lambda during 2013-14 session.
Dr. Mel Burton, Professor, School of Business and Adviser to Phi Beta Lambda, noted, “Rebecca was my
student in both macro and micro economics and one of the most brilliant
students I have taught. I encouraged her to compete in economics because of her
exceptional talent.”
Congratulations, Rebecca!
