Congratulations to Our 2026 Certified Event Managers

We ask a lot of our Event Management students - learn how to assess and evaluate their event programs, learn how to recruit and host a wide variety of events, learn to build partnerships with venues, businesses, and schools, build a publicity kit and pitch their stores to publicists during Publicity Speed Dating, dive into marketing and metrics, and finally create a live presentation for how their programs will move forward based on the data they've gathered all semester. We know this is a big task, and we're all so proud of our Certified Event Managers!
