Your advisor offers a hearty “thank you” to those who attended PRSSA / PRSA’s national conference in San Diego this past week. There were 1,000+ students there and about 2,000 professionals. (Think about that: the ratio of students to professionals was 1:2. That’s why we URGE you to attend the national conference. What better way to meet the people who can hire you when you graduate?) The conference was excellent. I got to spend a lot of time talking with fellow PRSSA advisors and I have some good ideas for our chapter to work on… DS
