What can AMA UT do for you?
If you are interested in learning more about what AMA UT has to offer, we encourage you to start attending our events! AMA UT is open to all majors, and everyone is welcome to join. We partner with many companies and organizations that specialize in marketing to bring you incredible events. In addition, we put on exciting events such as Marketing Week, Mentor Week and the AMA International Collegiate Conference, where we travel to New Orleans and meet and mingle with AMA students as well as marketing professors and professionals.
AMA UT exists to serve students who have an interest in marketing, regardless of their major. The chapter goal is to attract and retain these students as active members of AMA UT. AMA UT has had several successful years which we hope to continue. In 2007 we were recognized as an "Outstanding Collegiate Chapter" at the AMA International Collegiate Conference, held last spring in Orlando. In addition, we were nominated for "Best Professional Organization" by the University of Texas Leadership Board as well as "Most Outstanding Organization" by the McCombs School of Business.
Our awards and accolades are earned through the strength of our officer board as well as our dedicated members. With the help of future AMA UT leaders and members, we can make this organization all that we want!
