Dan Gregory of Hummingbird Crea-

tive Group spoke to the AMA about

his career in web design and his ex-

perience in web development. Dan

also gave the AMA tips on what

makes you stand out to potential em-

ployers and skills you should develop

while still in school.

UNCG’s AMA was given a fundrais-

ing opportunity of a lifetime.

UNCG’s printing office “ Spartan

Printing” needed over 40,000 home-

coming announcements stuffed in

envelopes so they can be sent out to

alumni. AMA members and volun-

teers came together and was able to

complete the task within two weeks.

The AMA was awarded $800 for

completing the task.

Hello, my name is

Ron and I am the

Vice President of

Sponsorship and

Fundraising for the

American Marketing

Association. I am a

senior and finance

major. What drew me

to AMA was the

chance to not only

meet real world pro-

fessionals, but to

also help my fellow

students possibly

find a pathway into

their career. The AMA

has taught me a

great deal about re-

sponsibility to your

organization and

commitment as a

whole.
