\u201cI am extremely proud of how our students performed,\u201d said Dr. Chuck Viosca, NCSC faculty coach, assistant dean of the College of Business Administration and associate professor of marketing. \u201cThis competition has always been very important because participating companies want to hire ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ students as a result of their presentations.\u201d<\/p>\n
