Dysico became president of Susquehanna’s FBLA chapter last year with the goal of doubling participants to the SLC. He did this by increasing Susquehanna’s presence from four to 11, with nine of those students earning awards. Dysico was also elected the next treasurer of PA FBLA Collegiate.
“The SLC was a great opportunity for all attendees and participants to hone and improve their networking skills, communication skills and confidence,” Dyisco said. “We believe each and every member in this conference exemplifies Susquehanna University’s ideals and values of being proactive toward their own education, seizing opportunities that will benefit them in the long run.”
