Pave the Road to Success with SMSU!

Fall may offer crisp mornings and bright foliage but to the SMSU Marketing Department it also offers a fresh start.

There is a new energy with the beginning of each Fall semester. Another school year brings new students, welcomes back those who return from summer break,

and provides an opportunity for faculty to dish up fresh

ideas for teaching and research.

We have now celebrated

for 100 years the annual tradition of new beginnings offered each fall. Join with us

as we profile in this edition of Marketing Highlights some

of the current accomplishments and activities of our faculty, students and alumni. Truly they exemplify those who have paved the way to success.
