40th Annual AMA International Collegiate Conference
Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring break. This past week, UNLV was fortunate enough to attend this year's International Collegiate Conference hosted in New Orleans. The AMA International Collegiate Conference is one of the best investments you can make as an aspiring marketer. It is a great opportunity for undergraduate Marketing students wanting to learn from industry professionals about careers and cutting edge Marketing and Sales practices. AMA collegiate chapters celebrated their successes and learned Best Practice chapter management techniques, and students and AMA faculty advisors networked with their fellow peers.
We are proud to announce that the UNLV AMA came in 6th place for Best Collegiate Chapter this past weekend at the Collegiate Conference. This was out of more than 400 chapters internationally. It was a great professional development opportunity for all of the members involved. We cannot be more proud of them and all of the hard work they put in. Thank you for a wonderful year and we look forward to the next!
