All About the SMA:
Our Mission:
The Simon Marketing Association (SMA) is a group of students interested in pursuing long-term careers in the marketing of products and services in a wide variety of functions and industries. The SMA is committed to increasing the visibility of Simon's marketing programs (MBA and MS Marketing) and its marketing graduates within the corporate community. The SMA seeks to provide first and second-year students with the resources they need to prepare themselves for successful and fulfilling careers.
Our Specific Roles:
(1) The SMA seeks to coordinate events with faculty, alumni, students and marketing professionals in order to enhance students' marketing skills beyond the classroom.
(2) Serving as a Marketing Management Center (in conjunction with and in addendum to the Simon Career Management Center) to provide resume and cover letter writing assistance, interview preparation, and corporate networking skills for Simon marketing students. This will help facilitate the career and internship search.
(3) To provide networking opportunities for marketing students by bringing in keynote speakers and alumni, and by planning trips to Fortune 100 and 500 companies throughout the United States.
(4) Above all, the SMA seeks to create a sense of community and support for all Simon marketing students through mentoring programs and social gatherings.
