Utah State Students Succeed in Many Areas

Nick Yengich Latin Competition

Recently, two Utah State students won first and second place in the advanced section of the Nick Yengich Latin Competition, a statewide competition. Jonathon Barney placed first with Daniel Webb taking second. Congratulations to both of them.


National HR Games

Students from Utah State's Department of Management and Human Resources and the College of Business are on their way to a national competition in Orlando, Fla. Along the road to the nationals the students captured top honors at the Utah and regional competitions, where two teams represented Utah State. Only the top regional team moves on to the national HR Games, a competition that is part of the Society for Human Resources Management conference, and once again, that team is from Utah State. Last year's team took third place honors at the competition and this year's group is aiming for the top.

Team members include Mary Arevalo, April Peterson, Megan Melosi and Ben DeSpain. The team's coach-advisors are Alan Warnick, Ron Godfrey and Mary Jo Blahna.

The Society of Human Resource Management is the leading professional organization for HR practitioners. The HR games test students' understanding of the common body of knowledge needed for professional certification in the field of human resource management.

The national competition is June 23–24 in Orlando. Utah State will compete against six other teams from across the country. To get to the final six, Utah State defeated teams from Utah, Hawaii, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. More than 200 teams competed nationally.
