• -.; Scholarship, #6 Beth Duncan This coming fall I plan to enroll at either the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities or the University of Wisconsin, Madison. i am going to major in Business, possibly in marketing or advertising, with a minor in Political Science. I love to look at the new label on a can of Cherry Coke and examine the headlines used to advertise stories on the cover of "People" magazine. Marketing and advertising concepts are what excite and interest me! Marketing is fast-paced, requires intuitiveness and an understanding of consumers. These are areas in which I have the passion and skills needed for a successful career. The first time I knew I wanted to work in marketing and advertising was about. a year ago when I visited my cousin, Mary Duncan, at Fallon Advertising in downtown Minneapolis. From its sophisticated .appearance to the various job positions at the company, I knew from the first moment of walking into that office that I wanted to work in advertising and marketing. For a part of my first four years in college I plan on doing an internship at an advertising company to experience tie type of work I would be doing after completing college. I also would like to study abroad in Italy for at least a semester and internship at one of their companies to snore broadly understand the techniques used to sell products `in other parts ~f the world. i plan to earn my Bachelor Degree in Business Administration and then get a job at a large company close to home {for my mother's-sake) in the Twin Cities. I would like to work at a company such as General Mills or. Pillsbury and work in their advertising department.
