Anna Li, a student at Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, credits her college experience to the professional opportunities and campus involvement available at the university. Currently pursuing a BBA in Advertising and Integrated Marketing with a minor in Finance, Li serves as Chief Financial Officer of the American Marketing Association (AMA) and is also a Student Marketeer for Red Bull at Pace.
Li said she chose Pace University because of its “strong internship opportunities and professional connections it offers students.” She added that the variety of clubs was also influential in her decision: “They’ve had a life-changing impact on me.”
Discussing how campus organizations have shaped her time at Pace, Li explained, “They’ve given me the chance to gain leadership experience early in my college career. Joining an E-Board as a second-year student helped me build a strong foundation, which eventually led to a core four E-Board role. I credit that growth to the teamwork and leadership opportunities I had early on.”
Li highlighted her involvement with AMA as particularly meaningful. “I was drawn to AMA because of the chance to collaborate on a team, help host events, and contribute behind the scenes. Getting to serve student needs in meaningful ways has been incredibly rewarding. These experiences helped me find my community and grow professionally,” she said.
Originally starting as a finance major, Li shifted her focus after attending an international conference hosted by AMA. “Networking and connecting with students from around the world sparked my interest in marketing. After that, I met with my advisor and mapped out a path in Advertising and Integrated Marketing to align with my professional goals,” she explained.
Among her favorite experiences at Pace is working as a Student Marketer for Red Bull. According to Li, this role allowed her to plan events and work collaboratively across different campus groups.
Li encourages other Lubin students to get involved: “Get involved in clubs! Staying consistent and taking on leadership roles has transformed my professional growth. I wouldn’t have had half the experiences—or learned as much—without the amazing opportunities Pace’s clubs provide.”
Reflecting on what #LubinLife means to her, Li stated: “To me, #LubinLife means access to amazing professors, engaging classes, and professional development opportunities through Lubin’s many student clubs.”
