The Marriott School of Management will be hosting a meeting with the top retailing executives in the nation Thursday, Jan 25.
This will be a good opportunity for BYU students to interact with a group of retailing executives, said William R. Swinyard, a BYU business management professor, in a letter sent to many students on campus.
Students of any major are welcome to participate and meet with these executives, Swinyard said.
The Institute of Retail Management’s National Advisory Board is a group of top retailing executives. They will be on BYU campus to meet with BYU students.
Board executives will be coming from the following companies: Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club, Dillard’s, Payless Shoesource, Express, Fred Meyer, Inc., ZCMI, Kmart Stores, IBM and Target Stores.
Activities will consist of a panel discussion between students and board members. Questions related to retail business, such as career opportunities, current trends and other key issues in retailing can be asked. The panel will be in 151 TNRB.
Following this panel, small groups of students will meet with two different board members and discuss more personal and company related issues, Swinyard said.
A reception will follow in 710 TNRB. At the reception, students will be able to talk with individual board members.
If students are interested in meeting these executives they should go to 480 TNRB or call 378-2953.
The deadline for applications for the event is Tuesday, Jan 23rd
