Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA)
Meeting of October 23: 1 hour
The first meeting that I was able to attend this semester was a great one! Deserie Lawrence, the owner of Get Noticed PR, was the guest speaker. She talked to our group about her career path. It was extremely interesting because she started out in a totally unrelated field to PR. Her sense of humor made the talk very easy to listen and learn. She specializes in Social Media PR, which is becoming more and more important now-a-days with how vital the internet has become in today's society.
Meeting of November 6: 1 hour
PRSSA had another guest speaker today, Dr. Becky Emery from Career Services. This meeting was a lot of fun! Her speech was based on Business Etiquette It was so great to learn the things that she taught us. From where to place a drink cup to how to network a room. I think some problems are that college students do not know how to professionally network themselves. You have to put yourself out there sometimes in order to get noticed. This was by far my favorite meeting since I have belonged to PRSSA;
Social Event on December 5 at Trivia Night at Uno's: 2 hours
A couple of the members gathered at Uno's for a social event to end the semester. It was Trivia Night and the questions were about specific TV shows. Unfortunately, none of the shows featured in the questions were shows that I watch. But it was a fabulous time to bond and relax with some fellow club members.
