What is AMA?
AMA stands for American Marketing Association. Since we are the Xavier Chapter our official name is AMA@X. You might remember us as Xavier Marketing Club.
Why did the club name change?
We want to be able to connect students to the national organization of marketing professionals (American Marketing Association). Being a chapter of AMA helps us help students build their networks of professional connections and boost their resumes. Plus, you can stay a member after you graduate as a professional instead of a student!
What does AMA@X do?
We host speakers and events aimed at informing students about possible careers in Marketing. In addition AMA@X aims to build a strong network of Xavier marketing (and other) students with connections all throughout the United States.
Why should students join?
Joining the AMA is a great way to get involved on campus. We’re one of the largest business clubs, with members from a variety of majors – not just marketing! Our events are totally free, so feel free to stop by any of them throughout the year!
Can non-marketing majors join?
Yes! All majors are welcome. Marketing is a skill that transcends job description or capacity. Most importantly, you will have to market yourself to companies at some point, and we host speakers and recruiters who give helpful tips on how to land jobs, internships and more.
So, when is your first meeting?
TONIGHT! Monday, September 12 at 9:00pm in Kennedy Auditorium (CLC 412).
How can students get involved?
Come to our first meeting! They can also email ama@xavier.edu to be added to the email list and find out about upcoming meetings. Occasionally we will have sign-up lists when there is a limited amount of space for people at an event. Pay attention to emails to make sure you are on those lists early!
I heard you guys go on local company visits and trips?
We do! AMA@X trips are an incredible experience. Last year we had company visits in Detroit and Toronto and were able to network with and learn from some top execs in large multi-national corporations. We also visited with companies in Cincinnati like KAO and 84.51*. Trip Tip: Get your applications in early and get to know the officers!
Stop by their meeting tonight and see how awesome AMA is for yourself!
