Welcome to the Agribusiness/NAMA Club website

The Agribusiness/NAMA (National Agricultural Marketing Association) Club consists of members from different majors within the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. They meet bi-monthly on campus and have guest speakers from various agribusinesses. This enables students to meet prospective employers and learn about internship opportunities. The club's major fund raising projects include the following: annual farm toy show, concession stands at the Farm Science Review and the sale of OSU Agriculture hats. The club also has an annual banquet held in the spring. Other club activities include but are not limited to ice skating, bowling, and the club trip.

The Agribusiness/NAMA marketing team competes nationally every year. They have to develop a complete marketing strategy for a product which includes an oral presentation. Past products have included low-fat Italian chicken sausage, a fungicide for apples, and low-fat chocolate covered dried sweet corn. Previous competitions have been held in Indianapolis, Orlando, St. Louis, and San Diego. This year the competition will be held in Dallas. The team is advised by faculty members and assisted by agribusiness representatives.

Club members who are Agribusiness and Applied Economics majors assist the department in recruiting students through their presentations at the College Career Fair and the Experience College for a Day program.

The club communicates with their members and incoming freshmen throughout the summer. Everyone receives a letter regarding the Farm Science Review and other activities which takes place at the beginning of Autumn Quarter.
