In 1968, 20 years after its own establishment, the Public Relations Society of America founded the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). PRSSA is home to over 300 chapters across the world, with UNI PRSSA being one of those. PRSSA offers many benefits when joining this organization such as an internship portal, networking events, conferences, webinars, scholarships, and much more. The UNI Chapter of PRSSA was chartered on January 18, 1981. This Chapter has received numerous national awards, including Outstanding Chapter, Outstanding Chapter Firm, Outstanding Newsletter, and Outstanding Website. The declared purpose of UNI PRSSA is to enhance members' educations, broaden networks, and launch careers after graduation. We are a public relations student organization open to all majors and students. We host weekly meetings in room 346 within Lang Hall at 4 p.m. each Monday where we hear from guest industry speakers, provide professional development workshops, or gather for socials.
