Leadership, curiosity and a genuine passion for marketing define Camryn Curry, the junior chair of the Marketing Student Advisory Board (MSAB). A marketing major with a minor in management, Camryn is originally from Orlando, Florida and is set to graduate from Clemson University in May 2027. As a member of the Honors College, she balances academic excellence with meaningful involvement across campus.
Camryn’s journey with MSAB began at the end of her sophomore year, when she actively sought leadership opportunities within the Department of Marketing. Drawn to the board’s mission and impact, she applied for the junior chair position and has since grown into her current leadership role. Along the way, she has helped plan department events, facilitated communication between students and faculty, and contributed ideas that shape the marketing student experience.
MSAB itself plays a vital role within the department. The board consists of highly engaged marketing students who work closely with faculty to strengthen relationships, share student perspectives, and enhance programming. From brainstorming new initiatives to addressing student concerns and logistics, MSAB acts as a bridge between faculty and students, ensuring that student voices are heard and valued.
For Camryn, the most rewarding part of MSAB has been the people. She describes the board as a group of driven, motivated students who inspire one another to think bigger and do more. Being surrounded by like-minded peers has not only been energizing but has also helped her sharpen key professional skills, including public speaking, leadership, organization, teamwork, and communication.
This semester, a significant focus for Camryn and the MSAB team is planning their industry trip that resonates with marketing students. Past trips include visits to places like Bank of America Stadium and Coca-Cola—companies chosen based on student interests. These trips give students the chance to tour facilities, connect with professionals, and hear firsthand about real-world marketing careers.
Camryn is quick to encourage other students to apply to MSAB. She sees it as an ideal opportunity for marketing majors who want to be more involved in the department, meet fellow students, and make a lasting impact. “It’s a chance to bring new ideas to the table and serve as a spokesperson for the department,” she explained.
For those interested, applications for MSAB will be opening soon for students who have officially declared marketing as their major. The process includes an initial application followed by interviews.
Through her enthusiasm, leadership, and commitment to the Clemson marketing community, Camryn Curry exemplifies the purpose of MSAB and the impact students can make when they get involved.
