Students gathered on Dec. 1st to elect officers for CU-51�Թ���’s new chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). PRSSA, which is composed of more than 300 school chapters, gives public relations students a chance to network, find internships and develop their skills. CU-51�Թ��� is the second school in Colorado to host a PRSSA chapter.

“PRSSA is one way students can start building their resumes by gaining experience in the field of PR before graduation,” explained Erin Willis, a professor of public relations in the College of Media, Communication and Information, who helped to organize the CU-51�Թ��� chapter. “PRSSA offers professional development and networking opportunities that stretch far beyond CU’s campus.”

Anastasia Hanson, the chapter's��newly-elected president, hopes that the chapter will serve as a welcoming community for all students interested in public relations.��"If CU's PRSSA chapter can provide students who are looking to make meaningful changes in the world around them with an encouraging, productive, and fun environment, then I would be more than happy," she explained.
