Guest Speaker-Spencer Oliver



    On February 10th, AMA at JSU had a chance to hear from Spencer Oliver, the Senior Marketing Manager at RMC Health System. 

    Mr. Oliver's creative presentation covered many topics and gave good advice that is not only useful for students now, but also useful for life after graduation. He broke down what marketing truly is about: understanding people, using strategy, communication, and value to connect with your audience. He also shared marketing strategies he uses at his job and how important resources, teamwork, and community are in healthcare marketing.

    Additionally, Mr. Oliver did a leadership activity with AMA students. Before the meeting, each student filled out a quiz, and this quiz categorized students into four categories based on their leadership style. He broke down each leadership style, highlighting their strengths and ways they can grow. 

    Ultimately, he ended with great advice for students as they begin searching for jobs after graduation. He highlighted the importance of working for people who value you, staying open to opportunities, and not chasing the "perfect" job, but rather choosing the one that builds your skills and helps you grow. This meeting was a great insight into leadership, marketing, and career growth!
