Corporate Retail Association

The Corporate Retail Association (CRA) connects MSU students with the retail industry. CRA serves to educate about the many aspects of the retail industry. For MSU students interested in the corporate retail world, CRA provides one-on-one interactions with recruiters from highly recognized brands. This diverse group of corporate representatives speak about their experiences, give advice to students, and discuss available career paths in the retail industry. These unique opportunities can’t be found anywhere else at MSU. Through bi-weekly presentations from company leaders, we focus on providing insight and corporate opportunities in professional retail. CRA teaches the dynamic and fundamental skills necessary in retail, giving our members a head-start in the constantly changing industry. Open to all majors. We also coordinate site visits (*now virtual*) to obtain a closer look at how some of the world's leading retail firms operate in cities, such as New York City, Columbus, Chicago, and Detroit.
