COMMITTEES

OKAY IM IN PRSSA, WHATS NEXT?

Beyond being a member, there is plenty of other ways to get involved and

obtain positions of leadership. As mentioned previously, students may join one of

the six committees or even become a committee head. Beyond that, students

may run for executive positions that are voted on by members each spring. There

are eight positions to be filled including president, vice president, treasurer,

secretary, programming director, historian, webmaster and inclusion director.

In addition to holding a leadership position, students within PRSSA are

highly encouraged to participate in Lindsey + Asp, a campus advertising agency

ran entirely by students. Being involved in Lindsey + Asp provides real world

experience and allows students to connect to business professionals. Another

networking opportunity is attending Top Jobs, a career fair that networks

company representatives from all around the United States to OU students

looking for internships and potential jobs.

There are many ways to further your involvement and leadership skills within

public relations here at OU, you just have to take advantage of the opportunities.
