Accounting and Finance Club
The Accounting and Finance Club
provides a forum for students to socialize while exploring topics related to
finance and accounting. The club provides networking opportunities with alumni
and business leaders, guest speakers and field trips, including an annual trip
to New York to tour the New York Stock Exchange and visit with international
accounting and finance firms.
In addition, the club looks for ways to
integrate the mission of Salve Regina into its activities. In past years, the
club has offered area high school students budgeting assistance, participated
in fundraisers for the American Cancer Society and supported the Special
Olympics. Because the club is run by students for students, they have
opportunities to develop their leadership skills while creating a club that is
uniquely their own.
American Marketing Association
The American Marketing Association is a
professional organization for students interested in furthering their study and
practice of marketing. Salve Regina’s chapter provides marketing resources and
education by offering professional development activities and networking
opportunities. National competition and local community service projects not
only enhance members’ skills and knowledge, but also promote ethical
decision-making and responsible citizenship.
Honor Societies
The department sponsors chapters of two
honor societies: Alpha Mu Alpha and Sigma Beta Delta. An international honor
society sponsored by the American Marketing Association, Alpha Mu Alpha
acknowledges the achievements of outstanding marketing students across the
globe. Sigma Beta Delta is a national honor society for students of business,
management or administration who have achieved high scholarship and exhibit
good moral character. The society encourages aspirations toward personal and
professional improvement and a life distinguished by honorable service to
humankind.
Information Systems Management Club
The club has participated in the SIFMA Foundation’s Stock Market Game, placing first five times, and has sent management teams to assist the organizers of ComBots and RoboGames. The club’s adviser and officers promote a yearlong effort to write, submit and present papers related to information technology at international conferences in locations such as Beijing, Dubai, Hawaii and Athens. The club has also invited guest speakers, organized field trips and supported local conferences.
