Ava Hennig, an International Business major at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater from Elk Grove Village, Illinois, was recognized as one of 20 students honored at the Pi Sigma Epsilon (PSE) 2026 National Convention held March 25-27 in Norfolk, Virginia.
Hennig was named a semi-finalist in the Pro-Am Sell-A-Thon National Competition during the convention. The event featured several competitions focused on one of PSE’s founding principles: competition. These events were open to all registered active members and provided practical learning experiences while allowing students to demonstrate their professional skills. Members from startup chapters could participate, but only officially chartered chapters were eligible to win awards.
Faculty advisor Robert Boostrom received recognition as Top Faculty Advisor at the convention.
