The West Virginia University Advertising Club is a student-run organization that is sponsored each year by an advertising professor from the School of Journalism. The Ad Club is an important aspect of any advertising student’s time at WVU, greatly helps in resume building, and is vital in networking.

Meeting time is every other Monday at 2:00 pm.

The Mission of the Ad Club

The group strives to bring together WVU’s advertising students to provide insight and experience in the advertising business as well as connections with other advertising students.

The WVU Ad Club is a local chapter of the American Advertising Federation and regularly competes in the regional AAF competitions. In 1997 the Advertising Club came in first place and in 2004 the Ad Club came in second place in the 5th district of the AAF National Student Advertising Competition.

The Ad Club also participates in the WVU School of Business and Economics Student Business Plan Competition serving as advertising advisors to the finalist teams.
