About Us
What is DECA?
DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. We compete to solve real world business problems, we volunteer our time to serve our local community, and we engage with students on campus to create new relationships. DECA welcomes ALL MAJORS!
UWW DECA takes pride in its many on-campus events. Last year UWW DECA put on many on-campus events including the toy drive and high school mini-districts where UWW DECA partnered with BMEA to help high school students get a taste for DECA competition. UWW DECA also has competed and accomplished 1st place in the Homecoming competition 3 years in a row.
Campus
DECA has always placed importance in helping the community in many ways. Last year, UWW DECA collected over $200 worth of toys for the annual toy drive, and put in over 400 hours of community service throughout the year. Some of the various volunteer activities are, can donation/pickup and fundraising for nonprofits. UWW DECA has earned the Chapter Civic consciousness award 5 of the last 6 years.
Community
Whitewater's DECA chapter had a record performance last year. At the state competition last year, we had 33 competitors, bringing back 139 individual/team awards. UWW DECA earned the Executive Chapter Leadership Passport award, and was awarded for being the 3rd largest chapter in the world.
At ICDC 2022 in Baltimore, our chapter had 25 finalists and 20 students place in the top 10. Within those top 10 finalists, we had one 3rd place finisher.
