NDSU students Cameron Wedde, a senior majoring in business administration, and Shane Ward, a senior majoring in psychology, participated in the Great Northwoods Sales Warm-Up, a collegiate competition for students interested in sales as a profession.

Forty-eight college students from 15 schools in 10 states competed for cash prizes and title of top salesperson at the sixth University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Great Northwoods Sales Warm-Up. The event was held Nov. 8-10 on the Eau Claire campus.

The highest scoring individual from each participating school, excluding the top overall winners, was named “school champion.” NDSU received a trophy and $150 cash prize.
