CLEVELAND, WI – 

Seven Lakeshore Technical College students recently competed in the 2015 Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, CA.

Top ten finishers were Brianna Sprague in Advance Spreadsheet Applications, Brianna Sprague and Jaime Adkins in Database Applications, and Atiq Khan in Computer Network Technology.

 

"We have an excellent BPA program at LTC and a lot of hard work goes into it," said LTC President Michael Lanser. "That certainly is showing up in these results and any employer who hires our BPA participants will be fortunate."

 

Students who went to nationals were Brianna Sprague, Jaime Adkins, Atiq Khan, Geraldine Gilbert, Rebecca Gagnon, Grace Jenke, and Linda Penke. BPA Program Advisors are Gordy Rosploch, Information Technology Instructor and Bonnie Silbernagel, LTC Accounting Program Instructor.
