Speakers
The Fall 2009 semester, DJ Bonics and Steve McDermott spoke to the students on Clarion University's campus.
DJ Bonics is a radio host from the Pittsburgh area on 96.1 Kiss FM. He spoke to the students about the important aspects of the "real world" that they do not hear from professors in the classroom.
Steve McDermott, from Presque Isle Partnerships, spoke about event planning that he deals with along the Presque Isle State Park beaches and community.
Trips
November 19-21, members of AMA took a trip to New York City. While the students were there, they visited two major companies, CBS and Avon. CBS Broadcasting Inc. is a major American television network, that started out as a radio network. Avon is the company for women. Avon not only supports the beauty of women, but also health, fitness, self-impowerment, and financial independence.
