Having won first and third place at the State Human Resources Collegiate Competition this past earlier this month, California State University, Stanislaus will advance to the Pacific Western Regional Championship on March 20.
The Jeopardy-style games are an annual academic event designed to foster friendly competition among university students while preparing them for careers in human resources.
CSU Stanislaus won 17 out of 21 matches at the weekend competition at CSU Bakersfield sending two teams to the Pacific Western Regional Championships in Reno. Fresno State came in second place.
“This hard-working group’s achievements demonstrate the commitment and academic prowess of CSU Stanislaus students. I wish these teams the best at the regional competition later this month,” said CSU Stanislaus Dean of the College of Business Administration Linda Nowak. “This is an example of the Management, Operations and Marketing Department’s diligence and the dedication of faculty.”
CSU Stanislaus is an established powerhouse in the HR games. The University has won four state championships: 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010. Of the six Pacific Western Regional Championships it has entered, CSU Stanislaus has also won four: 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2009. In 2006, the University won nationals, beating notable teams from Utah State and Cornell University.
This year’s first-place team includes Joe Aja, Demetrios Zarafakis and Tabitha Lilly. The third-place team is comprised of Kenny Brown, Sarah Lamas and Amanda Fritz.
