PRSSA Day Invitation

On March 18, the Missouri State University chapter of PRSSA is hosting the 2011 PRSSA Day in the Ballroom of Plaster Student Union (on the Missouri State University campus) from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.

The entire day is going to be social media themed, because it is currently so prevalent in the public relations profession, and the timeline of the day is going to include:
• Speed networking
• Lunch
• A panel featuring some of the members of the Springfield Social Media Club
• An award ceremony
• 2 speakers: Tressa Robins speaking about the myths and misconceptions of social media, and Ryan Knapp is going to speak about the value of social media for students and young professionals.

We would love for local professionals to attend our PRSSA Day this year, and if you are interested in attending and networking with Missouri State PR students, please e-mail Lindsay Vanquaethem at vanquaethem487@live.missouristate.edu or Jasmine Booker, PRSSA Day chair, at Jasmine2@live.missouristate.edu.

If you would like to attend, you are welcome to come for some of the day or for all, and you would receive a free lunch, and goodie bag.
