Nov. Outstanding Student Participant of the Month (Male): Chris Galiano, Team Challenger

Club: Team Challenge 

What does your club do?

We select a topic that is an ethical dilemma and then put together a presentation on the severity of the issue and present alongside other students at a competition, where a panel of judges picks a winner.

What happens during club meetings?

We work on the script for the competition, practice the presentation, and even have practice question and answer sections because after you present the judges have five minutes to ask questions.

How can people get involved in your club?

There is a bigger overall Business Club, which contains Team Challenge, Consumer Bowl, FBLA, Personal Finance Challenge, and National Economics Challenge and through joining the Business Club you can get involved in any of these 5 clubs.

What are your club’s goals/upcoming events?
