CSUF PRSSA Raises National Conferences Hands
CSUF PRSSA Raises National Conferences Hands
FULLERTON, Calif. – Twenty eight students from Robert E. Rayfield Chapter at California State University, Fullerton PRSSA attended National Conference on Oct. 14-18, 2011 in Orlando, Fla.This year, PRSSA National Conference was held at the Renaissance Orlando at Seaworld. National Conference is a nationwide event where thousands of PRSSA students are invited to network and learn from professionals in the field. CSUF PRSSA brought 28 members to conference this year, making them one of the largest Chapters at conference.
Every year at National Conference, PRSSA holds a chapter roll call, this is where each Chapter has the opportunity to showcase their creativity. When CSUF PRSSA was called, all 28 members stood up and sang “Raise Your Hands,” a remake of “Raise Your Glass,” by Pink (re-written by Special Events Director Samantha Durbin, from CSUF’s PRSSA).
“I still have that song stuck in my head,” said chapter member Alicia Lykins.
Each member was able to attend sessions based on their interest and network with professionals in the industry. “I enjoyed the Crisis Communication because the speaker was able to engage us and wasn’t teaching us what Crisis Communications was, but instead shared incidents,” said Cynthia Rivera, Outreach Director for CSUF PRSSA.
National Conference also offered members the opportunity to attend a Carnaval Brazilian Masquerade sponsored by Walt Disney.
“My favorite part about conference had to have been bonding with CSUF PRSSA and meeting new people across the country,” Joel Umana, member of CSUF PRSSA.
After National Conference, CSUF PRSSA Chapter continues to keep members involved by planning fundraisers and bi-weekly meetings. The chapter hopes to bring even more members to National Conference next year.
