Program Spotlight: American Marketing Association
Salve Regina's chapter of the American Marketing Association was recognized by the AMA Collegiate Chapters Council in three categories in the spring of 2020: Outstanding Chapter Planning, Outstanding Community and Social Impact, and Outstanding Membership Strategies. The chapter also ranked in the top 10 small school chapters in the country.
This is a big accomplishment for us as a club to get recognized, because for the past few years we've definitely been rebuilding our club from the ground up. This is just another step in the right direction.

Alumni Experience: Kasey Walther '16
American Marketing Association was an essential staple to my undergraduate education. AMA gave me the ability to work on projects with Fortune 100 companies that armed me with knowledge that is applicable in the everyday business workforce. I was fortunate enough to receive my first job offer after college through an AMA sponsor, after placing in the top three during the outbound sales competition. I continue to apply the sales skills I learned through AMA in my everyday work life.
