                                          _ Does your student organization struggle with how to recruit new members?  Does planning an event or fundraiser overwhelm you?  Does it frustrate you to promote your club via social media?

                                          Student organization leaders across campuses often struggle with these issues. However, UGA’s Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) can help.  We invite your members to attend our third annual PR Workout, a student-led PR conference devoted to teaching campus organizations good PR strategies.  The conference will be held Saturday, January. 28, on the first floor of the Tate Center.  Registration begins at 9:45 a.m., and sessions run from 10 a.m. to noon.

                                          For more information and how to register click here

                                          The Real World PR conference allows public relations students to enjoy career-advancing activities such as informative workshops, a career expo, resume critiques and multiple networking opportunities. This conference provides students with useful, timely information to complement the lessons learned in the classroom. The networking opportunities are endless for students, as top representatives from Atlanta companies will attend the conference luncheon.
