Welcome to the Sac State chapter of:
Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA)
About PRSSA
Why is PRSSA an advantage for future professionals?
Did you know that about 80% of the open positions in this country are not advertised? That means you have to know working professionals who are aware of the opportunities at their company—opportunities that you can take advantage of because you’ll know to whom you need to direct your resume.
Public relations is about relationships. Relationships that will facilitate your job hunt, that will help you deal with on-the-job situations that you may not have encountered previously, that will assist you in developing your career path. Through engaging with PRSSA speakers and attending PRSSA conferences, future professionals gain access to industry leaders who will be able to assist them in their PR career.
What PRSSA provides is an opportunity to learn about the real-world situations you will encounter as a professional—writing releases, dealing with the media, managing a social media presence, organizing events, controlling a message. Students need to think of PRSSA as both a vehicle for networking and as a laboratory in which they can test the skills and practices they have learned in the classroom.
