Retail Studies is an interdisciplinary field of academic study that explores the various aspects of the retail and eCommerce industry, encompassing subjects such as business, marketing, economics, data analytics, supply chain management, supplying to retailers, consumer behavior, and technology. It offers students a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and challenges within the retail sector, preparing them for careers in areas such as retail management, buying, merchandising, marketing, sales, eCommerce, and analytics.
I joined RMI because I wanted to explore the retail industry beyond the classroom and connect with people who share similar interests. RMI has given me opportunities to learn from industry professionals, build meaningful connections, and gain experiences that have helped me feel more confident about pursuing a career in retail.
What I enjoy most about being Co-President of RMI is getting to create opportunities that bring students together and help them become more involved in the retail industry. It’s really rewarding to see an event or idea that we’ve worked on come to life and know that it can help someone make a connection, discover a new interest, or find an opportunity they might not have otherwise.
