Pubic Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA)

Samford’s chapter of the Public Relations Student Soceity of America is an organization that helps PR students get a head start on their careers by fostering relationships between students and professionals in the Birmingham area. Networking can prove to be invaluable when Samford majors graduate and start the job hunt.

PRSSA also gives students a chance to fine tune their communication skills through internships and competitions. Students can also run for leadership positions in PRSSA as well as work for the Samford chapter’s student-run PR firm.

PRSSA also presents programs of local professional speakers once a month. Speakers address current trends in the profession and relate their professional experience to students.
