Since PRSSA is PRowl Public Relations' sister organization, I thought our readers would like to know what Temple University's PRSSA chapter is up to this semester.
This semester, we will have two great guest speakers. This coming Tuesday, Aimee Cirucci will be speaking to the chapter about negotiating pay for your first entry-level job. In April, Gary Frisch will be speaking to the chapter about how he started his own PR firm, and how we can too.
Instead of having general meetings each week, every other week we hold committee meetings. The four committees are:
1. Fundraising- Plans and executes fun events to raise money for the chapter.
2. Newsletter- Brainstorms, writes, and edits articles for our chapter's newsletter.
3. Public Relations- Allows students to put what they learn in class to good use doing PR for other student organizations.
4. Community Service- Plans community service events for the chapter to participate in.
In order to get members even more involved, we've put a point system into place that allows members to accumulate points for coming to meetings and events, wearing our PRSSA t-shirt, writing articles for the newsletter and much more. The member with the most amount of points at the end of the semester will win a prize.
Tomorrow we will be holding a cupcake sale in the Student Activities Center from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
We are also planning a networking event for the spring, so stay tuned for more details!
