Under the direction of Dr. Julia Cronin-Gilmore, Professor in the College of Business, Bellevue University students have submitted work for consideration by AMA-Omaha for the past 16 years.

“We are proud of our Bellevue University students who receive awards each year,” Dr. Cronin-Gilmore said. “Some years the competition can be pretty tough, which makes for stronger programming in our marketing courses.”
