Why Educators Should Join PSE

Educators assist and advise project implementation and achievement of chapter objectives, as well as communicate the purpose, programs, and activities of the chapter to the university administration and faculty.

Here is what some of Faculty Advisor's say about their experiences:
PSE is an opportunity that every marketing student should have. We know that our students can gain knowledge in the classroom, but PSE can give them the chance to apply that knowledge in a setting that is supportive and positive. For me, watching the students and meeting other faculty colleagues from across the nation makes the time commitment an outstanding value. The quality of the experiences is unparalleled. Our alumni point to PSE as an essential tool to launching their careers. I smile from ear-to-ear as I watch my chapter’s students learn that they can be successful.
