Eric Bedrosian

Collegiate DECA President

Eric Bedrosian is the Collegiate DECA President for 2024-2025. Eric began his journey in DECA as a junior at Hamilton Southeastern High School. After experiencing the program's profound effects on him, Eric felt compelled to continue his journey in DECA through the collegiate level. During the third week of his freshman year, he founded and became the president of Butler University DECA. The program quickly grew to 105 students and is currently the third largest Collegiate DECA chapter. As president, he worked with administration and faculty to integrate DECA programming into the Lacy School of Business curriculum. In addition, he established a 30-member professional mentorship program for his chapter while raising $30,000 in one month to give chapter members an equal opportunity to compete at CICDC. Outside of DECA, Eric serves as a tour guide for Butler University, is a member of the Lacy Business Scholars, and is a part of the Blue Crew, showcasing student life on social media.
