Student Organizations
Join, Participate, Lead...
There are three student organizations specifically for marketing majors or those with strong interests in different aspects of marketing. At the beginning of each semester, the clubs run membership drives. Information will be sent over the marketing major listserv, and you will see flyers and recruiting tables around McClelland Hall. You can receive academic and professional benefits from joining one or more of these organizations. These organizations also offer many opportunities to gain leadership experience.
