Exclusive Fall Kickoff
Crossing the Threshold
Wednesday, September 9 | 6:00–9:00 p.m.
Hahn Garden
Upper level year is a threshold, the moment students step from studying marketing to becoming marketers.
Through a shared, exclusive cohort experience for Marketing majors only, students will build identity, confidence, and community with their peers, stepping forward together as the next marketing professionals.
Fall Kickoff is where that journey starts, built on a framework that carries through the year:
See It
Name your strengths & identity
Level Up
Apply it through the year
Own It
Share your growth in spring
Questions before you RSVP
Who is this event for? This is an exclusive event for declared Marketing majors only, juniors and seniors. If eligibility is unclear, reach out to the department office.
What should I wear? Business casual is recommended. Faculty and alumni will be in attendance, though this is a garden reception, not a formal event.
Is food provided? Yes, light bites and refreshments will be served throughout the reception.
What if I am not able to attend? Let us know via the RSVP form so we can plan accordingly. Reach out to the department office to discuss how to stay connected to the framework this fall.
Do I need to do anything to prepare? No preparation is required. Each attendee will leave with a Quest Guide and a keepsake, both provided at the event.
