Register for Student Global 2025
For the past 25 years, the Global Retailing Ideas Summit has brought retail's best and brightest minds to Tucson, Arizona to share ideas, connect with industry professionals, and forecast change. With the addition of Student Global, students are not only able to attend and participate in the Summit but will have the opportunity to showcase their work and grow personally and professionally in a one-day conference in collaboration with the Summit.
Why Retailing?
Retail is an ever-evolving, competitive and rewarding industry. Store fronts and sales often come to mind when picturing retail, however 44% of retail employees do not work in sales. From design, engineering, technology, data management, supply chain, finance and marketing, the possibilities and career paths are endless.
Student Global
Student Global will host case competitions, professional development workshops and an amazing key note to the University of Arizona's retailing and consumer sciences students and students with retailing aspirations in various disciplines from across the university. Students will have the opportunity to showcase their work and grow personally and professionally in a one-day conference, in collaboration with the Summit.
Looking for information on the Retailing and Consumer Science academic program?
While the Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing partners with the retailing and consumer science program and its faculty, they are not one in the same. You can learn more about the retailing and consumer science academic program by visiting the Norton School of Human Ecology site.
Preparing Tomorrow's Retail Leaders
Since 1993, the Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing at the Norton School of Human Ecology has brought together the resources and expertise of academia and the retailing industry with a shared goal of developing strong future retail professionals. The Center's professional development and hands-on learning opportunities ensure that the retailing and consumer sciences students and those from other programs from across campus, have the skill set, training, and expertise to lead and thrive in a competitive marketplace. Supported by major retailing, technology and consulting partners, the Center incorporates the ideas and innovation that help to inspire the next generation of retail experts – our Future Retail Leaders.
No other Center compares in its efforts to expand its educational reach to industry leadership through such interactive experiences as Student Global and our Executive Education, where the industry’s top executives and leading minds connect.
