Phi Beta Lambda Students Earn Top State Rankings

Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) is a national business-leadership organization allowing students to prepare for careers in business and business-related fields. Members attend conferences, participate in business-related competitions, serve the community and network with professionals.

“PBL is an excellent way for students to connect with business and to utilize the skills they are learning in the classroom to compete against their peers at two-year and four-year colleges,” said Janice Akao, Butler’s PBL advisor.
