Happy New Year From the SMSU Marketing Department!

Happy New Year

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.
