SCA at the Detroit Economic Club

Building Leadership Skills for the Future

At St. Catherine of Siena Academy (SCA), we prioritize providing students with real-world opportunities to expand their knowledge and leadership skills. On Monday, September 23, a group of business-interested students, along with Principal Ms. Hehs and Dean of Students Mr. Bumpus, attended a Detroit Economic Club (DEC) event at the Masonic Temple.

The event featured Lael Brainard, Director of the National Economic Council, discussing the administration’s efforts to support the U.S. auto industry. Before the main presentation, our students had the chance to interact with Ms. Brainard during a student reception, where she answered their questions. While none of the students' questions were selected for the general Q&A, the experience gave them valuable insights into economic policy and industry trends.

The DEC’s student programs offer a unique opportunity for SCA students to engage with business and government leaders, gaining exposure to key issues and professional environments. We’re fortunate to have more events lined up for our students in the coming weeks.
