Marketing All-Star Among Us

Big congrats to Drake University student Erika Sevigny! Erika is the recipient of our 2011 chapter scholarship, recognizing outstanding leadership, high academic achievement and active participation in the marketing profession.

The Drake junior is pursuing a degree in business administration with major in marketing and advertising account management and a minor in economics. And she has successfully maintained a 4.0 in her marketing and journalism courses.

As if that wasn’t achievement enough, Erika has already completed three internships – one at the Des Moines Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, a second at the Iowa State Fair and a third with Meredith Corporation.

Erika’s goals include securing a marketing-related position in Des Moines or another Midwestern city (don’t let this one go, Des Moines employers!), as well as adding a master’s degree to her resume.

According to Mary Edrington, Drake assistant professor of marketing, Erika is a natural leader. “She is organized, creative and enthusiastic,” Mary wrote in her letter of recommendation for Erikia.

In a second letter of support, Iowa State Fair Marketing Director Lori Chappell says Erika is “a proven marketing performer in the classroom, as well as the real world. She truly is a future marketing all-star.”
