Advertising Club 2026

Who We Are

Advertising Club provides students with the opportunity to connect with like-minded students and faculty, create relationships with and learn from industry professionals, and engage with fun and educational activities outside the classroom. We welcome all students interested in advertising! We meet biweekly and cover a wide range of activities. For example, we bring in professional speakers from the industry, and we create networking sessions with advertising and marketing professionals, including resume, portfolio and professional development workshops. Also, we have fun with advertising games where students can create their own campaign, work on their copywriting, and develop advertising vision boards. Furthermore, one of our main focuses is networking with industry professionals at our annual fall and spring trips to regional and national advertising agencies. During the fall we visit Des Moines, and during the spring we go to a city out of state; for example, we've visited agencies in Chicago, Kansas City, and Minneapolis.  

How do students benefit from club trips?

Our advertising agency trips provide a multitude of benefits to students. For one, they gain the opportunity to learn about the advertising industry and different positions within it. Plus, they get to form an impression of what kind of agency they would prefer to work at. Second, they build their networking skills and form lasting connections with professionals while gaining incredible guidance from them. Next, these trips have proven invaluable for career opportunities and have even led to internships and full-time jobs for club members. Finally, students gain lifelong memories and friendships from these trips, especially from the spring trip, which spans over three days.

Thank You!
