General Members
Professional Growth
Learn the essentials of marketing from experienced industry professionals, expand your network, and so much more at our speaker events! From Nike to NorthWestern Mutual, MKT curates a wide variety of speakers to provide a window into marketing practices at successful companies across the world.
Personal Growth
General Members are the heart and soul of MKT. In addition to providing excellent opportunities for networking and professional growth, MKT also supports the personal growth of its members through service opportunities, DEI learning events, and a new mentor-mentee program!
Being introduced this semester is a new mentorship program, designed to facilitate friendships and professional development. Each mentee will be grouped into a membership "family" led by mentors. Every other Wednesday during the normal social events, each family will engage in team-building exercises together. Not only does this provide students the chance to become closer, but it also demonstrates extra interest and commitment to MKT!
Mentor-mentee requirements:
-
Attend 4/6 socials
-
Meet outside of the normal social times with mentor/mentee twice a semester
