Georgia Southern Student Recognized at the Pi Sigma Epsilon National Convention
GREENFIELD, WI— From March 22-26, students from chapters across the country competed in Pi Sigma Epsilon’s (PSE) National Convention in Minneapolis, MN. This was the first National Convention held in person since the 2019 National Convention in Jacksonville, FL.
PSE Members participated in several competitions at the Convention, including the fraternity’s signature competition—the Pro-Am Sell-a-Thon®, PSE’s National Speakers, and the Mutual of Omaha Interview Competition at the National Convention.
Finalists for the National Awards Program and for the National Education Foundation Scholarship Program competed on-site as well. Winners were announced for the 19 different categories in the National Awards Program, and more than $35,000 in scholarships were awarded.
PSE extends our deepest gratitude to all corporate partners, to our volunteers, and to our students for making the National Convention possible. Georgia Southern University’s Gamma Lambda chapter rounded out a resurgent year by winning the following awards at the Convention:
Mutual of Omaha Interview Competition – 2nd Place won by Courtney Simon
For the Mutual of Omaha Interview Competition, competitors assumed the role of a senior in college interviewing for the Sales Trainee Program at Mutual of Omaha. The interview was conducted with a Sales Representative or Sales Manager from Mutual of Omaha. Competitors were judged on criteria based on what was learned from the interview guide that was provided, as well as each pre-training session. The first round was conducted via Zoom, and finalists competed on-site.
