PRSSA info meeting-fall 2011-1

Check out this little video that we put together to give you a better idea of what Cal Poly PRSSA is all about. Special thanks to our Communications Director, Chelsea Kitta, for her awesome editing! See you Tuesday, October 4 at 11 a.m. in Building 26, Room 103 for our first meeting of the year.

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!
