Marketing Graduation Ceremony may 22 2007
This is a friendly The Marketing Graduation Ceremony is tomorrow at 5:30 pm! I'm very excited and I hope that this will be a memorable event for everyone. Just as a reminder:
* Graduates please try to get to the Towers Conference Center at 5:00pm to make sure that your guests will have seats, as seating is limited. Additionally, please allow for time to find the conference center if you and/or your guests don't already know where it is. Students will be sitting in the first few rows, which will be reserved for them.
* The Towers Conference Center is near Parking Lot 19, so you may advise your guests to park there or nearby.
* There will be signs around campus to point to the direction of the Towers Conference Center. I have attached a map of where it is located (It is behind the student services building, and on the ground level).
* Please wear your cap and gown or formal attire.
* There are no physical tickets, as we will have a list of students' names and their guests' names, and we will mark off each person as they come in.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. You may send me an e-mail or call me. I hope everything is going well with everyone, and I will see you all tomorrow! Have a great afternoon! Take care!

Welcome Back II jan 23 2007
The Marketing Association at San Francisco State University is one of the largest student organizations campus! We strive to get members more involved, providing social events as a networking effort, seminars of professional speakers, and tours of real world companies. We are a collegiate chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA), one of the largest national associations of professional marketers, which has approximately 500 professional and student chapters in North America alone.
I encourage students from all majors and concentrations to attend any of our events and discover the many opportunities available, as business and marketing are a part of all of our lives and, at the very least, we all need to market ourselves to achieve our career goals. Members of the Marketing Association are enthusiastic, friendly, professionally minded individuals who recognize the importance of preparation and networking; pursuing more than purely what their textbooks have to offer.
I am passionate about the service we provide to the students of SF State and am excited about the great events we have planned for Spring 2007. Hope to see you all soon!

Wow, it's been an exciting first couple of weeks of school! Ok, well maybe exciting isn't the right word.. but definitely eventful and tiring. What better way to take the stress off than to come out and listen to some live music! That's right kids, our first event of the semester is already here. Wax+Paint tonight at The Canvas on 9th Ave + Lincoln in the city. I expect to see everyone who is reading this and is 21+ to be there. Last chance to get on the $5 guestlist by sending you and your friends' names before 5pm to our partners at funkimonksf@yahoo.com.
I'd also like to congratulate and welcome all new SFSUMA members! Thanks for stopping by the table these first weeks and joining the hottest student org on campus. We will be seeing all of you soon..
Upcoming Events: The MA is sponsoring a Career Skills Seminar on 9/19 put on by the Business Relations Center. This will give you all a chance to gain some skills you can apply in the real business world, as well as meet some experienced professionals. It should be fun.
Our first official social will be next thursday night at The Pub in the César Chavez Student Center. All are welcome to drop by even if you're not 21.

The end of August is here and that can only mean one thing.. school is back in session. On behalf of the SFSU Marketing Association, I'd like to welcome all the incoming students, returning students, faculty and administration to the 2006 fall semester at San Francisco State University.
We at the MA have some really exciting things in the pipeline over the next few months. As usual, we'll be having 3 members meetings featuring a bunch of guests and industry experts sharing their knowledge with our members. We're also having 3 socials, plus a few other very special events that you won't want to miss (check our calendar regularly for details). All in all, this is definitely going to be one hot semester.
Agenda for the week: The MA will be tabling all week on the first floor of the business building and possibly in front of the César Chavez Student Center. Drop by and say hi!
First Week of School Special: If you catch me either in class, tabling, or anywhere around campus at anytime this week, say 'The MA website is gorgeous' and i'll take you to the pub and buy you a drink. (Valid only for non-members. Must be 21+)
