The Department of Marketing is delighted to be celebrating its 50th Anniversary Year. Since the start of the academic year, it has marked the occasion with a number of activities and events, such as its 50th Anniversary Research Seminar Series and the ‘50 Years of Teaching and Learning’ Poster Competition which was run with schools across Glasgow. 

The Department has started the “50 Miles for 50 Years Challenge” which invites as many people as possible to take to the great outdoors - to walk, run, swim, roll and cycle their way to 50 – raising a bit of money for charity along the way. 

Marketing lecturer Natalie McDougall said, “We warmly invite colleagues and friends from across the university to join us in our celebrations and take on this challenge with us. We would also love to receive any messages of goodwill or memories working with the department. You can get involved and share your messages via LinkedIn, Twitter or our website.”

Anyone taking part can share their progress on LinkedIn or Twitter with the hashtags #sbsmk50 or #strathmarketingfabat50 and you can celebrate your achievement with a contribution to the Marketing Department's 50th Anniversary Fundraiser.
