American University’s chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (AU PRSSA) is dedicated to bringing advertising, public relations, marketing and communication students together professionally and socially. As part of a national organization, members create a large network and have opportunities throughout the country. AU’s chapter hosted 2010′s National Conference and has been host to several regional conferences right here in D.C. This past spring, the Chapter co-sponsored the Social Media Club’s Social Learning Summit and Kennedy Political Union’s Dan Rathers.
Members also have the opportunity to develop their professional skills through workshops in personal branding, portfolio building, resume reviews and AU PRSSA’s monthly speakers. AU PRSSA is an active group that aims to bring together students in the communications field with fresh ideas and similar interests. Our members all help plan events for the chapter, raise money for conferences and start building their career while still in school. If you want to meet students in your classes and network with D.C. professionals, then AU PRSSA is the place for you.
