By: Joel Primack In the 21st Century, every young adult, especially college students, has been told how vital it is to know people in order to land internships and jobs. The Public Relations Student Society of America chapter at Miami University is everything anyone who wants to become a public relations practitioner could ever want: 1. Networking Opportunities: John Isaf of Weber Shandwick, Michael Perry of Vehr Communications and CEO Fred Cook of Golin, an award-winning public relations firm. These three speakers have come to our chapter within the last year, educating members about different skills and areas of public relations. These speakers are connections that can help advance a career in public relations. 2. Opportunities to Build a Portfolio: In the Miami University chapter of PRSSA, we have committees, which are great ways to become involved with the chapter. Each committee allows one to build a professional portfolio, if you put in the time. You will be able to show these to employers, giving them an idea of how valuable you are to them as a member of their team. 3. Homework Help: The executive board members have study tables open to anyone in the chapter. This is a great opportunity to get help from an upperclassman. The insights they share with members who go are priceless. 4. Friends: I have met so many great friends through PRSSA at Miami University. It’s another way to meet peers in classes, which start the foundation for a professional connection. The networking opportunities, opportunities to build a portfolio, homework help and friends are a few reasons why PRSSA at Miami University is a necessary society for every hopeful public relations practitioner. We are each other’s connections for the future.
