Conferences are an important part of the Delta Epsilon
Chi year. They provide members with the opportunity to network with their peers as well as business leaders. They also give students a chance to put their career skills to the test through our competitive events program.
All conferences stress the four main points of the Delta Epsilon Chi philosophy:
|
Leadership Development
Career Exploration
Community Involvement
Professional and Personal Growth
International Career Development Conference
The International Career Development
Conference (ICDC) is the highlight of the Delta Epsilon
Chi year. Nearly 2,000 students, advisors, alumni and
business professionals gather for several days of Delta
Epsilon Chi excitement. Most participants at ICDC compete
in Delta Epsilon Chi's Competitive Events Program. And all attendees take part in one of our Professional Development Academies.
The top competitors in each event are recognized for their
outstanding achievements. In addition to the competitive
events many students participate in activities such as
the National and Culinary Management Institutes, the Entrepreneurship
Academy, National Officer Elections, Career Fair,
and business and industry seminars.
Collegiate Leadership Academy
Delta Epsilon Chi members, members of other college organizations
or any college student looking to enhance their leadership
skills are invited to attend the Collegiate
Leadership Academy (CLA). Sponsored by Delta Epsilon
Chi and Finish Line, the CLAs are held each year in New York City.
