“It provides a bridge between students and local businesses, helping them learn, network, and prepare for successful careers in marketing,” UT Permian Basin Senior, Julissa Sanchez, said.
A club at The University of Texas Permian Basin is helping Falcons develop skills for their future careers. Through real-world connections, hands-on experiences, and partnerships with local businesses, the Marketing Experiences Club is giving students a head start in the workforce.
The club hosts guest speakers, company tours, and networking events. On Oct. 30, the club and Beta Gamma Sigma will host Will Dumas, marketing manager at Diamondback Energy. Dumas will share his team’s strategies, his career journey, and insights on leadership in local businesses. 
Julissa Sanchez, a senior majoring in marketing at UTPB, says the club offers valuable experience and knowledge beyond the classroom. She recommends it to any student studying marketing, business, management, or communications who wants to launch their future. Students are invited to attend Thursday’s event to learn more and hear from Will Dumas. Those interested in joining the club can also contact Jingbo Zhang at zhang_j@utpb.edu.
