our history

Society for Advancement of Management is a national nonprofit organization established in 1912 and founded for the purpose of promoting scientific study of the principles governing organized efforts in industrial and economic life. Today, we fulfill this mission through the study of management theory and practice.

Our Mission

To build a community of bold leaders by offering opportunities – to establish a professional network, to develop marketable business skills, and to build leadership potential that will lend to the achievement of personal success.

PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

As students, we need to fill the gap between the classroom and the workplace.

SAM provides students with real tools for professional development like professional speaker series, useful workshops, and plenty of fun networking opportunities.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

We strive to be champions for change in our community by volunteering for various causes in our community.

Each semester, SAM students participate in various outreach programs and self-started events like walkathons, beach cleanups, bake drives, and more!

Super Fun SOCIAL EVENTS

At SAM, we work hard, and play hard. We consider ourselves a SAMily that understands the importance of building strong relationships.

Each semester we host a number of socials such as picnics, bowling, hikes, baseball games, end of semester parties, and banquets.

Corporate Tours

The best way to understand the operations of companies is by visiting in person while the company is in action.

Thanks to the strong connections SAM has, our members get to visit various types of facilities throughout the year. See you at the next one!
