AMA helps out Clarion County

The American Marketing Association conducted a community service project for the Clarion chamber of business and industry. This project consited of e-mailing surveys to all students of Clarion University as well as local hotels to give to their visitors. The survey was a way of finding how how satisfied the participants were with the Autumn Leaf Festivals festivities.

Surveys will be passed out to local businesses to find out how this festival helped them.
Surveys will be collected and put into a database, where they will be analyzed by the members of the American Marketing Association. After they are analyzed, a presentation will be created and conducted in front of the Clarion County Rotary.

DJ Bonics

On October 13, DJ Bonics came to Clarion University. DJ Bonics is a DJ for 96.1 Kiss FM, which is a Clear Channel Communications radio station based in Pittsburgh.

DJ Bonics spoke to students about what they don't learn in the classroom and how to make themselves more marketable to future employers. The turnout for the event was great, thanks to all of the students and faculty that took the time to come listen.

In his speech he told everyone how he started his college career and how he eventually came to be a DJ. One of the main points that DJ Bonics stressed was to get involved in university activities. DJ Bonics pointed out that a great way to get noticed was to start a website or a blog or both. He also gave many pointers on how to get more experience because after all experience is everything. His presentation was very inspirational and his words really hit home with many students.

This event was planned and executed by the American Marketing Association. Special thanks to DJ Bonics and Clarion University Faculty and Students.
