Dr. Delonia Minor-Cooley Faculty Spotlight
The stars are shining bright and the spotlight is on the American Marketing Association’s award-winning leader, Dr. Delonia Cooley! Under Cooley’s leadership our AMA Chapter has been named in the Top 10 for two years, Top 25 for one year, and now we are the Top Small Chapter of the Year for 2022-2023. This ranking puts the TSU-AMA chapter in the Top 15 Chapters of the Year out of all 350+ chapters! The chapter was also recognized for being the Top Small Chapter to donate the most funds raised for the National AMA Foundation’s #GivingTuesday campaign. In addition to all those top accolades for our AMA Chapter, this spring Cooley was featured as the marketing professor on BET’s hit reality show College Hill: Celebrity Edition produced by Tracey Edmonds. The show featured celebrities Nene Leakes, Ray J., Lamar Odom, Big Freedia, Stacey Dash, Dream Doll, India Love and Slim Thug as they headed back college to have an HBCU experience and reveal life enrolled at TSU to finish their degrees. Cooley’s no-nonsense style in her classroom, created a challenging environment amongst some celebrities, while others were very appreciative of her style and loved the class. Her course work included product presentations which required research and preparation time. It’s a reality show so you know there was some great footage edited out and left on the cutting room floor! As one of her former students said,”Y’all already know,,,Cooley is not going for that crazy stuff in her class”. You should check it out streaming exclusively on BET+.
