Outstanding Club of the Year Award!

Arts and Sciences Student Council has once again named Advertising Club the Outstanding Club of the Year! The award is based off of 4 areas including: purpose of club, club membership, activities/meetings and greatest achievement of the year. With AdClub being the only on-campus club to offer a Foundation scholarship we were a head above the other applicants! Congratulations members because we could not have done it without you!

-Officer Elections-

The most important meeting for AdClub members is here! Who do you want representing AdClub next year? Come and voice your opinion and hear candidate speeches next Wednesday at Hideaway Pizza at 7pm. AdClub is only as good as its leadership so come and vote!

New West Group Coming Wednesday

Bob Hammack, founder of New West Group, will be coming to speak to AdClub on Wednesday. He is an experienced professional on both account services and creative. New West Group currently are in charge of accounts such as Chesapeake Energy Corporation, Harold’s, OKC Blazers, and Colonial Florists to name a few. Come and listen to a big name in the ad industry speak about even bigger ideas! The meeting will be held in JB 101 at 7pm.

It’s Time for AMOY and FMOY!

To receive AdClub Member of the Year (AMOY), meeting attendance numbers for non-leaders who have participated the most this semester will be totaled and, if the AdClub Member of the Fall Semester is one of them, generally this person will be chosen for AMOY.

For Faculty Member of the Year (FMOY), ballots will be distributed through some Journalism classes, Advertising Club Executive Board will tally them to see which faculty member received the most votes. In the six years AdClub has presented this award, Professors Noble and Sowell have won all but one year.

Both awards will be announced at the AdClub officer elections on April 6. Good luck!

Record Membership!

2007-2008 ended with a record 164 members! That number puts OSU AdClub in the running for national membership awards with American Advertising Federation. That number also reverses a declining trend over the last two years with memberships of 147 and 136 respectively. So great job executive team, especially our Vice President of Membership, Lindsey Mosteller!

Advisor Update

Enrollment begins Wednesday, March 5 and continues for the next few weeks. If you do not yet know your enrollment date, check your SIS account. Your enrollment date is based on the number of hours that you have already completed. Spring 2008 hours do not count.

As usual, advisors generally see students in order of their enrollment dates, so please schedule a time to see me 1-3 days before your enrollment date. If you schedule an appointment too far in advance, advisors may cancel it in order to first meet with those who enroll before you.

Everyone should make their appointments immediately even if you are scheduling as far out as early April! Don’t forget Spring Break is March 17-21 so don’t accidentally schedule then if you plan to be out of town.

If you need to drop a Spring 2008 class, you do not necessarily need an appointment. Fill out a drop card in the waiting area. Then put your completed drop card on your advisor’s door clip so that she will know you are waiting. Advisors will then typically try to work you in between appointments. Do not leave the drop card with an advisor without waiting for a signature!
