UD CMAA Student Chapter Named ‘Small Student Chapter of the Year’

In February, the University of Delaware’s Club Management Association of America (CMAA) Student Chapter earned the prestigious “Small Student Chapter of the Year” award at the CMAA World Conference and Club Business Expo. The award recognizes the chapter’s exceptional achievements from August 2023 to April 2024, underscoring their dedication and success while setting a high standard for student chapters nationwide. As part of this honor, the chapter received five complimentary conference registrations to attend either the CMAA World Conference or the National Student Education Conference, providing valuable networking and educational opportunities. The chapter will also be recognized during the World Conference, celebrating their outstanding accomplishments on a national stage.

Additionally, Shannon Hunt, Class of 2025 and president of the UD CMAA Student Chapter, has been awarded the Joe Perdue Scholarship, a prestigious honor in the club management community. Hunt is a hospitality business management major with a minor in beverage management. Joe Perdue was a former club manager and mentor who significantly advanced CMAA’s education and certification programs. This scholarship recognizes students passionate about furthering their careers in the club industry and honors Perdue’s contributions by providing financial support to student members pursuing professional aspirations in club management.
