1st Members Meeting Next Week October 3 2008
Hello marketers! We've been busy at work lining up the rest of the events for the remainder of the semester and we have a nice surprise in the pipeline for early December. No details can be spilled just yet, but we may ask you to soon fill out a short questionnaire to see what our members really want. If you have any fresh, new ideas, please send them our way. We're also looking for new officers to add to our board so we can expand and we strongly encoruage underclassmen to inquire and apply for a position either this fall or next spring. You'll gain a lot of experience in time management and communication skills as well as plenty of hands-on work in teams, all of which are essential skills for working in the marketing inudstry and are of course strong points on any resume. Send us an email if you're at all curious or interested.
Our next event is our 1st Members Meeting with two guest speakers. It's next week Wednesday, October 8th 6:00pm - 8:00pm in BUS 202. Our speakers are from Amazing Tech Products, a new internet startup company that reviews and showcases new cutting edge and quirky tech gadgets. We're fortunate enough to have both CEO Keith Washo and Marketing Manager Dewey Rogge to come and speak for us. Feel free to RSVP here on our Facebook page. Be sure to have plenty of questions ready for them and arrive promptly at 6:00pm to get a good seat.
The day after our 1st Members Meeting there's a SFAMA event on Social Media at Adaptive Path at 363 Brannan Street in San Francisco. It's Thursday, October 9th 6:00pm - 8:30pm. and their guest speaker is Chris Heuer, founder of the Social Media Club. This is a San Francisco professional chapter event so let's go represent SF State and knock their socks off!
Lastly, in order to keep up with emerging channels of communication and marketing, I've made a Twitter account for the SFSUMA. Twitter gives you a live feed of updates your friends make as to what they're doing, working on or thinking about. You can follow friends, newspapers, companies, famous professionals, celebrities, athletes and even politicians. You can follow us and get immediate updates to your cell phone or email to see what we're up to just as you can also text updates back to Twitter, and they of course have an iPhone App. Twitter is a big player in the new Web 2.0 craze of social networking websites and San Francisco seems to be a major hub of the action; Twitter's Headquarter office is in SoMA. Hopefully one day we'll get to work with them.

Our first Social is quickly approaching Septmeber 10 2008
Thanks to everyone who helped out, attended and bought food at our fundraiser BBQ last week on the Quad. Also, congratulations to AJ Cessario, our $50 gift card raffle winner!
One week from today we're hosting our first social of the semester -- the Speed Bingo Mixer. It's Wednesday Sepetmber 17 7pm - 8:30pm on the SFSU campus in BUS 202. This will be a great chance to match some faces to the names we see on iLearn and maybe met momentarily at our information booth and BBQ last week. We'll have refreshments, of course. Please RSVP here on our Facebook page.
Please contact Ben via iLearn if you would like to volunteer with the mixer. We strongly encourage any curious freshmen or new students to attend, regardless of your major. It's going to be a fun night.
Wednesday nights don't work for you? Check our calendar page for plenty of event updates!

Welcome back returning SFSU students, new transfers and, most of all, new incoming freshmen! I hope your summer vacations were all prodcutive yet fun.
As you adjust to new class schedules, we have a Kick Off BBQ already planned for students to enjoy. We'll be out on the SFSU Quad by Malcolm X Plaza Thursday September 4 11am - 2pm. We'll be selling a lunch combo of a cheeseburger, chips and a drink for $5. Any members who renew or new students who join the MA will be entered in a raffle for a $50 gift card of your choice for either gas, BART or MUNI. Raffle tickets will be issued out beginning Monday September 2 at our information booth on the ground floor of the business building 10am - 2pm. We'll continue with the table Wednesday, and wrap up the issuing of raffle tickets with the final raffle drawing at the Kick Off BBQ. Check out the flyer below.
If you're a current MA member and you do not have access to our iLearn account, please contact us. We'll be using iLearn a lot more this fall to post exclusive intern, scholarship and job opportunities. You'll also recieve email updates of message board posts and modifications to our event calendar.
We'll also be tracking volunteer hours this semester and will be giving out a prize to the most active MA member. Details to come soon.
I hope to see you all at the BBQ!

Summer Updates June 24 2008
Hey everyone! I hope your summer vacations are off to a great start. Our site won't have any major updates, but keep and eye out for announcements for dates; we have many good things planned for fall. Something big is coming in December and I'm having a hard time keeping it a surprise, but trust me it will be worth it.
I've updated the officers page too since we have a few new teammates! There are still some open positions left, so we encourage everyone to apply.
Enjoy the sun!
