Everybody Wants to be a Marketer

Students in classroom learning about Marketing from Linda Hagen

On July 11, 2025, UIC Business hosted Everybody Wants to be a Marketer, a half-day program introducing 36 high school students to the field of marketing and the vast array of fascinating jobs available.

The agenda included the following key topics:

  • What is Marketing?
  • How will you learn about Marketing at UIC?
  • How can you prepare for a career in Marketing?

Each topic was presented by UIC marketing faculty and featured examples of projects and exercises done in their classes.

Faculty presenters included Eliane Karsaklian, Anne Mägi, Linda Hagen, and Barb Barney-McNamara. UIC Business staff Brennan Nichols and Bernadette Poole, along with current UIC Business students Anasia Matthews and Hiya Goswami, contributed to making the event a meaningful learning experience.
