Student Organizations
At IWU, Business students experience an education that does not end at the completion of a course or graduation from the major. We encourage our students to engage in memberships with professional organizations and in this way create opportunities to continue learning outside the classroom and beyond the University.
American Marketing Association (AMA)
The AMA is a professional association for individuals and organizations leading the practice, teaching and development of marketing knowledge worldwide. Through relevant information, comprehensive education and targeted networking, the AMA assists marketers in deepening their marketing expertise, elevating their careers and achieving better results. IWU students Ryan Krueger and Mitch Causey took first place in the 2010 AMA Collegiate Chapter UNICEF Tap Project Video Competition.
IWU Students for BAM was founded in the spring of 2010 to help students better understand their life calling. The growing BAM movement is a method of doing ministry that utilizes all professions to further the Kingdom, releasing the power of business to transform people, communities and nations for the glory of God. IWU Students for BAM meets monthly, brings in speakers from across the U.S., and connects with Christian businesses domestically and internationally. The goal is to educate, equip and network students so they can experience internships and have opportunities to see how God is using people in any vocation.
Indiana Wesleyan University Community of Accountants (IWUCA)
The purpose of the IWUCA is to supplement classroom learning by helping students to apply the accounting and finance knowledge they have acquired in the classroom and pass that knowledge and experience on to the next generation of students. Students cooperate in a fun-filled learning environment as they seek to master those things that will prepare them for the great profession of accounting.
Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE)
SIFE brings together a diverse network of university students, academic professionals and industry leaders around the shared mission of creating a better, more sustainable world through the positive power of business. By contributing their talents to projects that improve the lives of people worldwide, SIFE participants demonstrate that individuals with a knowledge and passion for business can be a powerful force for change. The IWU chapter was recognized as the 2010 SIFE Regional Competition champion.
