The Retail Society

Taking retail by storm

To survive, thrive, and conquer the global retail industry can be a challenge, but not an impossible one with the right resources at your disposal. The Retail Society at the Warrington College of Business prepares you to meet the challenge head on.

The Retail Society lets you apply what you’ve learned in the classroom in experiential learning and professional development activities. You’ll also have access to the experts and services of the Miller Retail Center. Society members can face disruption in consumer behavior driven by ever-evolving technological shifts, consolidation, and globalization with confidence.

A network built for success

The Retail Society connects Warrington students and future employers to deliver practical experience and partnerships with industry connections. Coffee chats with retail professionals occur on a near monthly basis offering you the chance to connect one on one with a leader in the field.

Career, internship support

The group connects the dots between classroom immersion and the practicalities of a career in retail by introducing you to representatives from top companies who seek leaders like you for competitive internships and jobs across the country.
