Located at the heart of CSUSB, the initiative aims to attract new members and foster a vibrant community of aspiring PR professionals.
Next semester, CSUSB will be relaunching the Public Relations Student Society of America to attract current and future st students to participate in the club. Professor Sidney Robinson will serve as the Club Advisor alongside Dr. Deborah Perez Torres as the Faculty Advisor.
The PRSSA will teach students how to write press releases, how to recognize who the target audience is, how to build relationships with the media, and further student’s understanding and experiences within PR.
The relaunch will allow the campus community to gain pr skills and this club will not go unnoticed as the students will be in charge of the campus having a positive image with its members and faculty.
“We are hoping to attract students from every major on campus, because no matter what your work is, learning how to present and communicate it to others is an essential skill. PRSSA can help students learn how to communicate effectively to achieve their goals” said Dr. Perez Torres, Faculty Advisor of the PRSSA Chapter of CSUSB.
