Hey guys, As you may recall, we began an educational partnership with the Insights Association about 18 months ago. In that time IA has hosted two students at each of the past two SW Chapter events in Las Vegas and scheduled a round-table between MSMR/MMR program directors at the Leadership Conference last fall. The IA directors continue to look for opportunities to connect the Marketing Research programs with industry professionals. The next opportunity will be a local one: http://educationalforum.sw-ia.org/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Feducationalforum.sw-ia.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C582790ae5a024304858f08d5e2d9e010%7C5cdc5b43d7be4caa8173729e3b0a62d9%7C0%7C0%7C636664347744007077&sdata=QqHgd1Z29K8nDyZ8ODY9RjrHK5%2BHj6xAPBf1logciwE%3D&reserved=0> If you haven't already registered, I would strongly encourage you to do so soon. The early-bird deadline is next week, so time is of the essence. I'd also encourage you to consider sponsoring a student attendee at this event. It is a great opportunity for them to get more conference and networking experience, and it's a great chance for you to get to know a student. Several students have inquired about the event (maybe even your mentee), so I'd be happy to connect a sponsor with an attendee. I think it would be great to have an impromptu UTA MSMR gathering at the conference. Please take a moment to at least check out the slate of speakers. You might see one of your former classmates (or mentees) on the docket. Thanks, and stay cool (literally and metaphorically)!
