Communications: Vanguard Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA)
For Giving Day 2023, the Communications Department seeks to send two board members from the Vanguard chapter of the Public Relations Students Society of America (PRSSA) to the national conference in the fall. The estimated cost is $1,000 per student for the conference, including travel, hotel, and meals.
Why should donors support this fund?
Vanguard University has been a designated PRSSA chapter for two years, and we are still growing. Many Vanguard alumni have attained successful careers in public relations (working for notable brands as Cheesecake Factory, McDonald's, and Lululemon) and via their own PR and sports marketing firms. Our hope is that the Vanguard PRSSA chapter will help launch the PR professionals of tomorrow that can follow in the footsteps of our alumni.
Student Impact
“I am excited to be the incoming President of the Vanguard PRSSA chapter and I would love to go to the national conference to meet PR students and professionals from around the country. I had the honor of attending the Leadership Assembly in Scottsdale, Arizona recently, and I learned so much. I would love to continue to improve my leadership skills for our PRSSA chapter.” –Bianca Esposito
