“QMAC has been great for gaining insights on a variety of marketing career paths and developing a meaningful business network. Boutique and large CPG firms were in attendance and looking to develop relationships and share opportunities with students. QMAC opened the door to many marketing internships for me, and allowed me to work with the top firms of my choice.”
