CHAPTER AWARDS PROGRAM
Society for Advancement of Management
SAM COLLEGIATE
The Collegiate Chapter Awards Program celebrates the achievements and dedication of SAM chapters across the country. Designed to recognize excellence in leadership, engagement, and service, the program highlights the contributions chapters make to their campuses, communities, and the Society for Advancement of Management as a whole. Chapters earn recognition at five levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond by completing meaningful activities that strengthen membership, enhance visibility, and build sustainable connections.
More than a recognition system, this program serves as a roadmap for chapter development. It encourages chapters to recruit new members, host impactful events, serve their communities, and collaborate with one another. Each milestone met not only enhances the vitality of individual chapters but also strengthens the collective impact of SAM’s network of student leaders. By participating, chapters set the standard for management excellence and inspire future leaders to embrace innovation, service, and professional growth.
Participation in the program also provides chapters with a sense of identity and pride. Recognition at the national level brings visibility to a chapter’s efforts, validating the hard work of its members and leaders. This acknowledgement reinforces the importance of teamwork, creativity, and dedication while motivating chapters to pursue new opportunities for growth. Ultimately, the Collegiate Chapter Awards Program cultivates a culture of continuous improvement and recognition, ensuring that each chapter contributes meaningfully to the mission of SAM and the advancement of management education.
