Welcome to Cal Poly PRSSA Meeting!
The time has come for the first Cal Poly PRSSA meeting of the quarter…and the academic year!
We are looking forward to seeing both new and familiar faces at this informational meeting during UU hour (11 a.m. to noon) on Tuesday, October 4th in Room 103 of the Graphic Arts building. Communication skills are beneficial to students of all majors (not just Journalism/PR – though they are crucial in this case), so come one, come all!
We will start with a brief overview of our organization and then outline some of the great workshops, speakers and activities we have planned.
Bring your questions to the kick-off meeting of what will surely be a fun year of professional development and bonding!
Come visit us at WOW Club Showcase!
We’ll be at the Cal Poly Club WOW Showcase tomorrow from 12-5! Stop by our booth for more information about PRSSA and to get answers to any of your questions. Hope to see you there!

PRSSA Elections 4/28
All candidates are expected to give a 2-3 minute speech stating their qualifications, why you want to be on the E Board, plans for PRSSA, meeting ideas, etc. A third party will count votes for each position. The winner will be announced before we proceed with the election. Only paid members of PRSSA can vote; we will take roll.
We will implement an “off the floor” election system (used during PRSSA National Assembly). If you do not win your first choice position, you will have the opportunity to run for another; a member must nominate you to run for the new position. For instance, if Jane Doe runs for Outreach Director and loses, she can be nominated “off the floor” by John Doe to run for Communications Director. We will explain this more on the day of the election.
CANDIDATES–Take a look at the candidates running for specific positions below.
President
Alexandra Sousa
