NRFSA
National Retail Federation Student Association
The NRF Student Association's main goal is to prepare members for their future careers. Students are able to explore diverse career paths within the retail industry and receive exclusive educational and employment opportunities through the NRF Foundation. Meetings that BGSU's chapter holds include workshops for resumes, LinkedIn profiles, mock interviews, elevator speeches, and what/what not to wear in different professional situations. They also offer opportunities for students to volunteer at the Glenwood Giving Store and Jean Drive. Students have the opportunity to attend the NRF's Student Program annual conference in New York City at a discounted rate. In 2014 the AMPD Association was formed. In 2015, the AMPD Association evolved into the NRFSA and has been an organization on BGSU's campus ever since then.
BGSU's NRFSA's motto is... "A fine line between business and fashion."
Members must pay a yearly membership fee. If interested in joining contact an executive board member or email nrfbgsu@gmail.com
