The Ranger Business Club is making a comeback, and students say they hope to increase its membership.
Club members will gain experience in mock interviews, and they’ll learn how to write resumes, among other activities.
Student member Angelina Marlow said club members are working to structure the club for the future.
“I would love to just have it more official in general,” Marlow said. “I would love to have set meetings each month, whether it’s biweekly, weekly. I would also like to have a through idea of what each meeting is going to be about.”
Marlow said she would also like for the club to invite business owners into meetings so they can talk to students about their businesses and offer advice.
The Ranger Business Club has been around for years, but it died off during the pandemic.
Dr. Garret Lahr, the club sponsor, said there was an inability to do a lot during the peak of covid. So, this semester, he has worked to restart the club.
Carli Seabolt, club president, said it has gained about 10 members.
“We had a pretty late start this semester, and we are just planning on rebuilding recruitment for this next year,” she said. “We have some fun activities planned.”
An upcoming event that the Ranger Business Club is going to have is a table tennis tournament, either at the end of this semester or at the beginning of next year. The event is going to be used for recruitment.
“The club is for everybody,” Lahr said. “I’ve never put a limit on you have to be a business or accounting major. We have an open-door policy to everybody on campus.”
