Happy New Year From the SMSU Marketing Department! |
|

With a new year comes new beginnings and new resolutions. And
with that, we offer to you our new online newsletter with updates on the
varied activities of our alumni, students and faculty. We resolve to be
better communicators too, sending four online newsletters annually
instead of the one of previous years. With more than 4000 SMSU
marketing alum and approximately 700 marketing majors, there’s plenty
of stories to tell! We’ll look forward to bringing them to you. Best
wishes to you and yours for a wonderful 2004 from the SMSU Marketing
Department. |
