PRSSA is appreciative of the member support and enthusiasm through the 2007-2008 school year! The executive board noticed the determination and strides of professionalism that the members took this year. More than ever we had students of all ages and positions in the sequence attend professional events, get involved around campus, and apply for internships! That is a direct reflection on the caliber of students PRSSA supports! Thank you for helping us in our mission to ?develop highly qualified, well-prepared professionals!?
