Advertising Club

Stephen Laswell is the president of the Fresno State advertising club and has been a member for a year and a half.
 
Some of the benefits of being an advertising club member include the networking opportunities and the information they receive about what the industry has to offer.

“The meetings are very beneficial because we have guest speakers from people who work in the industry,” Laswell said. “This provides members with direct access to people who work in the field in which they are interested.”

This past semester members of the club attended a Career day in Los Angeles. The club toured some large advertising agencies. The LA career day allowed students to see experience top agencies and this gives students a better idea of what they might like to do with an advertising career.

“You really don’t know what you want to do until you see what’s out there,” Laswell said. The trip was personally successful for Laswell as it pointed him in the direction he will go after graduation.

Laswell attributes much of his success to the advertising clubs’ faculty advisor Dr. Asahina as she stays in close contact with her former students.
