What is PRSSA?

PRSSA is the leading pre-professional public relations society in the country. All majors are welcome to join and through membership, students have access to a wide range of benefits that will enhance one’s knowledge of the public relations profession and provide resources to increase marketability. Students also have opportunities to travel and attend national events; network with professionals and colleagues; obtain access to internships and jobs around the country; and gain leadership experience and training on local, regional and national levels. Meetings are held during the school year every two weeks in the Communications Building and all are invited to attend.
