Student honored by American Marketing Association

The Knoxville chapter of the American Marketing Association recently recognized Pellissippi State student Annie Hursey by naming her an Outstanding Marketing Student. Hursey received the award for her service to the student chapter.

As the Pellissippi State AMA’s vice president of membership, Hursey spearheaded many activities, from increasing student membership to getting the group involved in community service projects such as Big Brothers Big Sisters.

According to Anne Swartzlander, the PSAMA faculty co-advisor with Lisa Bogaty, Hursey was instrumental in assisting the chapter. Swartzlander and Bogaty nominated Hursey for this year’s award.

Pellissippi State was the first community college in the South to establish a student chapter of the American Marketing Association. The chapter provides professional networking opportunities for marketing students, enhances their leadership skills and provides education about marketing opportunities.
