Our Mission

The University of Georgia AdClub enhances its members’ classroom education by merging a social atmosphere with industry presentations and activities designed to guide the transition from the University to careers in the advertising industry.

AdClub is a The University of Georgia’s chapter of the American Advertising Federation.  Since 1954, AdClub has given exceptional, driven students a place to express themselves creatively, meet industry leaders, and give back to their local community.
AdClub is not only a great networking tool, but it is a great way to make friends and meet enthusiastic people who want to excel in their field. As one of the most active clubs on campus, AdClub is involved in Relay for Life and other community activities throughout the year.

Throughout the year, AdClub offers a variety of programs and events all members are welcome to attend.  From bimonthly speaker meetings and the Fall and Spring Atlanta Agency Tours, to workshops and alumni mixers, there is always something going on for AdClub members.
