During the 2022 Society of the Advancement of Management conference we had 5 students, 2 teams, participate in the undergraduate division. The anticipated Florida conference turned into a teleconference event that showed dedication and determination through adapting and pursuing through the unknown times. The conference allowed our members to expand their understanding of the advancement of management for the years to come while celebrating and sharing what Bloomsburg's very own has to offer. We look forward to competing in the 2023 conference in Nashville, Tennessee.
