YORK, Pa. — Eleven students in the Penn State York Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) Chapter, and their adviser, Megan Lorenz, are headed to Chicago thanks to their performance at the 2022 Future Business Leaders of America – Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBLA) state competition held in April. The group brought home 19 state awards, the highest number since they began competing in 2019. This is the fourth consecutive year that students brought home state awards and qualified to compete at nationals, this year being held in Chicago, June 24-27.
“It was a great moment to see Penn State York students winning state awards for their work, research, and professional skills during the PBL State Leadership Conference,” said Megan Lorenz, PBL adviser and lecturer in business administration at Penn State York. “Their work involves spending significant time outside the classroom, which doesn’t come with a grade earned in a course, it comes with their personal desire and passion for their own development, and that is truly remarkable,” she said.
