Zain Abdul
"DECA is a great opportunity to network with people both inside the TMU business community and beyond. You get to meet people from across Ontario who are in a similar program, making it an amazing networking opportunity. I signed up for DECA without knowing anyone else going, and after the last night I note of all the new people I was able to meet and talk to from different schools who I never have gotten the chance to otherwise."

"I learned how important communication is with a teammate when it comes down to cutting a case with Karim Eletry. The conference was super fun! I think a lot of people are going to say "expand my case competition skills" and "network" which is true, but I think what I learned is how to improve my critical thinking. DECA really pushed me to be creative and open-minded when solving problems. It's a super useful skill to have, especially when doing a work term."

"Confidence. Impact. Inspiration. These three words perfectly summarize my experience with DECA TMU. Joining this amazing family ignited a domino effect of amazing opportunities for me that I didn’t realize would shape my university career for the better. I was able to experience professional networking for the first time and met people who inspire me every single day. All of which led me to greater leadership opportunities that I wouldn’t have recognized without DECA TMU."

"Being in the BTM program, it was hard to find a category that matched my skillset. However, the Restaurant and Food Services Management category allowed me to utilize my work experience with my basic business knowledge to come up with some fun and creative solutions for the cases. Without DECA, I wouldn’t have been able to meet my incredible Delegate Development mentors that helped build my confidence and my quick-thinking skills which I’ll use to further develop my professional career."

"I joined DECA in my first year of university as a way to push myself out of my comfort zone. DECA not only helped me to learn more about the business world, but I met some of the most amazing people through DECA, and grew closer to the ones I already knew because of my experience. By joining DECA, it allowed me to understand that a lot of positives can come from pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, which is something I will continue to appreciate throughout the rest of my life."
