Student Advisory Board New Member Application

What is the Student Advisory Board? 

Joining the Student Advisory Board means being part of the Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing. This is a fantastic opportunity to build your resume and grow professionally, but it does require more time and dedication than a typical club.

The professional board asks of its ambassadors to partake in the following:

• Dedicated committee time
• 1 hour every other week to attend our scheduled mandatory meetings
• Additional 1-2 hours every few weeks to attend SAB-sponsored workshops/fundraising/community building events during the semester (times/dates will be developed according to your availability)
• Additional 1 hour every few weeks to attend any special events facilitated by the TJLC

These events’ times and dates will be provided early on for you to incorporate them into your schedules and will be made with you in mind! 

Your responsibilities will also include:

• Organizing and creating student-led workshops
• Fundraising for student scholarships
• Attending and helping the TJLC put on the Retail Fuse and Global Retailing Ideas Summit each year
• Maintaining a positive image of the TJLC and the University of Arizona
• Attending TJLC events and promoting engagement with students of the program
• Taking on small and manageable tasks throughout the semesters

The Benefits of Joining SAB: A Student-Led Organization

SAB is an organization run by both students and the TJL Center Staff. SAB Ambassadors can engage with corporate partners, improving communication skills and forging professional relationships within the retail industry. This invaluable professional development has helped many ambassadors secure jobs and internships while also enabling them to expand their industry knowledge and mentor others. By being a part of SAB, students can connect with like-minded individuals and establish academic and professional experiences that will last a lifetime!
