This month, WVU PRSSA, and WVU as a whole, took a look at diversity in the field of public relations and on campus. With workshops led by Brett White and a week of activities dedicated to making a more inclusive community, led by the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the word “diversity” has been on top of everyone’s mind- but what really is diversity?

Traveling to Boston to network with other public relations students and professionals was an experience I will never forget. To be completely honest, I did not know much about PRSSA when I signed up for this trip to the national conference. All I knew was that I wanted to get involved, and I knew I wanted to do it right away.
Looking to build your resume? Want to add unique campaign materials to your portfolio? Ready to put what you’re learning in class into action? Want to network and make friends in the field of public relations? Well, this is the blog for you! There are many ways to get involved in the PRSSA chapter, but the best way to gain PR experience and hone particular skills is by joining one of our many committees. These committees range from a fundraising event committee to an advocacy and awareness campaign committee. Joining one, or more, of these committees gives members the opportunity to broaden their portfolio of work, boost their resumes, network among peers, and learn more about the public relations field and what it entails.
