TerpAMA takes two major trips each year. In the fall, we travel to New York City to visit prestigious firms in the heart of the Big Apple. In our past trips to New York City, students gained fun and educational experiences by visiting firms such as Donna Karan, NBA, MediaVest, AOL/Time-Warner, and Marriott Times Square. Not to brag, but we also saw numerous celebrities including: John Cusack, Nicole Ritchie, Donald Trump, and more!

Every spring, we attend the AMA National Convention in New Orleans.  This trip is often the highlight of the year for those who attend.  We are given the opportunity to interact with other AMA chapters across the country and get to know them not only as fellow AMA members, but also on a social level. The trip also unites our officers and launches our brainstorming process for the upcoming academic year.  It’s a fun trip to the Big Easy with your friends!

Community Service

Our organization believes very strongly in staying active with charities and making a positive impact in our local community. In the past, we have worked, very successfully, with many nonprofit organizations such as “Relay for Life”, “Toys for Tots”, “Donors for Life”, and “My Sister’s Circle”. Working with My Sister’s Circle gave our members the rewarding experience of exposing 25 disadvantaged Baltimore teenage girls to college life. During this event, entitled “Future Women in Business: Today’s Girls, Tomorrow’s Leaders,” the girls participated in a series of workshops related to setting goals, developing leadership skills, and exploring possibilities for the future. TerpAMA members led activities such as creating a mock resume, applying skills and interests to a potential career, and a tour of the campus.

This year, terpAMA will be working with the town of Chevy Chase on the Chevy Chase Challenge, a project in a nearby town of Maryland that is focused on reducing carbon dioxide emissions in their neighborhood.  terpAMA will be conducting research on marketing opportunities for this project, as well as holding a logo design contest.  For more information on how you can get involved in this project with terpAMA, be sure to check out the Community Service page on our website.
