Let’s take a look at some of the jobs you can apply for!
President- The President runs all of the meetings and fills out all of the forms that are needed from student life to keep the club running. You also manage Ad Club’s Laker Link, Slack, and Google Drive. You get to create all of the fun presentations that you see at the meetings. Your main goal is to make sure everyone feels included, safe, and enjoys being a part of the club!

Vice President- The Vice President is like a “right-hand man” for the President! You help other chair holders understand/help with any priorities or tasks that need to get done, and review and edit work such as newsletters, blogs and social media posts. The Vice President is also the risk manager if any conflicts or issues arise!

Graphic Designer- Graphic design really entails just making sure all of our meetings and events get communicated on social media and the newsletters through graphics. We have a specific style we follow with brand colors and fonts, so it is easy to do! You can implement your own creative freedom with each meeting description and mock it up how you think it would look good visually. Adobe Creative Suites is preferred because that is what past graphic designers have used to do designs but other softwares, like Canva, work as well.
Current Graphic Designer: Grace Pols – polsg@mail.gvsu.edu
Membership Director- Membership is a lot about generating ideas on how to make the club look appealing and inviting to new members. You do a lot with writing newsletters, attending social events, and anything you come up with to generate club exposure.

Blogger- Being the Main Blogger means that you get to write all of the blogs for the Club! Is there a certain time period or topic you would like to dive into more that’s related to school or advertising? As the main blogger, you get to dig deeper into these topics and share your research and knowledge. It’s a super fun job that you will enjoy if you love writing!

Some of the Current Executive Board’s Experiences and Advice
Selena- I not only get to make connections with professionals but with all of the students. I’m the first person they hear from or talk to at any of the meetings which is my favorite part! I won’t lie, I also love how it looks on my resume. Saying I have leadership experience has gotten me many jobs in not only my career field but traditional management jobs while being in college. I have gained so much knowledge and experience from being the President, I don’t regret any choices or wish I would’ve spent my time any other way.
Grace S.- I have only been a part of Ad Club for a year but the experiences and skills I’ve acquired from being a part of the board have helped me in so many different aspects of my life. Going to all of the meetings and feeling a part of something bigger than myself has been such an amazing experience.
Apply here to become a part of the board. If you have any questions or concerns, you can email whoever currently holds the position you’re looking into. We look forward to having you join!
