The Consumer Affairs Club at South Dakota State University is a campus organization serving students at SDSU in the Consumer Affairs major. Our main goal as a club is to help educate our students on the diversity of our major and the employment opportunities out there that align with our curriculum. The Consumer Affairs program focuses on development of abilities in management, planning, organizat
ion, and problem solving for students who will assist individuals and families to improve their economic well-being. Our curriculum focuses on the interaction between consuemrs and the marketplace, the family financial planning process, the management of resources, public policy affecting individuals and families, and consumer behavior. We take a professional development trip every school year giving students the chance to network and learn about different industries within our major. We will bring in business professionals from the community with work experiences relevant to Consumer Affairs as well as some Consumer Affairs alumni. These are all great opportunities for professional development in our students.
