The month of March came in like a lion (or like a bear if you are thinking of the new mascot) for Northwood Tech. Four Northwood Tech students and their instructor recently attended the 2022 State Leadership Conference for the Business Professionals of America (BPA) in which each student competed and placed high enough to advance to the national level of competition.
Northwood Tech students SonnYa Glinski, Matthew Hoff, Barbara Koch, and Kelly Sigsworth represented three out of the four Northwood Tech campuses for this conference.
The 2022 State Leadership Conference for the BPA proved to be successful for the group from Northwood Tech as a whole.
