We are the award-winning American Marketing Association of the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, College Park. We are the official undergraduate student society for the marketing department. With over 150 members, terpAMA is one of the largest, as well as one of the most active, student organizations in the Smith School.

As a collegiate chapter of the national American Marketing Association, we are one of the only nationally-affiliated clubs on campus. We actively seek ways to better enrich our members by providing them with tools to pursue not only education, but also application of the professional skills they learn about.  We host events that foster networking skills, as well as real-world marketing experiences that often times lead to internships and jobs.  Last year, at the  national AMA conference in New Orleans, terpAMA was recognized as among the top 16 collegiate chapters in the country.

Plus...we are overall very awesome.

Meetings

Tuesdays during the academic year, terpAMA holds company presentation events. For these events, we invite representatives from select companies to come and speak about their real world marketing experiences as well as any “case study” situations that they have experienced. These meetings provide companies with a special opportunity to speak to 50 to 150 attentive, motivated, top marketing students while our members get the benefit of valuable face-time with company representatives.

Additionally, these meetings provide students the opportunity to learn more about the marketing industry and companies that interest them. After speakers finish their presentations, students are given an opportunity to meet with company representatives face-to-face to discuss their personal interests. These interactions are an excellent way for companies to establish valuable relationships with students, resulting in internships and lasting connections.
