STEP INTO THE INDUSTRY

Experience Retail Beyond the Classroom

Some of the most valuable learning happens outside the classroom.

Through the Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing, students have opportunities to connect with industry professionals, explore career paths, experience the retail industry firsthand, and build relationships that can shape their future.

From networking with employers at Retail Fuse to learning from industry leaders through Student Global and experiencing retail markets through Study Tours, our events and summits are designed to help students turn classroom learning into real-world experience.
