Calling all Park majors! Are you a communications student interested in entertainment, sports, philanthropy or fashion?
If you answered yes, join the Ithaca College chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). Our very first meeting of the semester is this Wednesday, 2/1 in Park 285 at 7:00 PM! We are happy to be one of the 300 collegiate chapters across the United States who are focused on refining their communication skills and forging their career paths. Our chapter is comprised of driven individuals who seek to become professionals and advance their public relations careers early on. As an organization, we are motivated to empower our members via professional development, personal brand management and philanthropic enterprise.
Our weekly meetings include Skype sessions with industry professionals (previous companies include NBA, Huffington Post, Edelman), fundraising, resume/LinkedIn workshops, and working on strategic PR plans for real clients. This semester, our big fundraising event is our annual Swish for Make-A-Wish, a basketball tournament for the Make a Wish Foundation. Last spring, we raised over $5,000 for the Make-A-Wish foundation! We will be breaking into three teams (Sponsorship/Donations, Social Media/Promotions, and Team Management), and each member will have the opportunity to gain great hands-on experience in planning and executing a huge and successful event.
Join us for our weekly meetings every Wednesday in Park 285 at 7:00 PM!
