Presidents Letter

CHELSEAKITTA

Welcome to Cal Poly PRSSA!

My name is Kaleigh Teskey, and I am currently serving as President for Cal Poly Public Relations StudentSociety of America (PRSSA). I wanted to take the time to tell you about some of the benefits Cal PolyPRSSA has to offer and how PRSSA has helped shaped me into the leader I am today.

If this is your first time hearing about PRSSA, you should know that it is a national pre-professional publicrelations organization. Cal Poly PRSSA is just one of more than 300 chapters nation-wide. Membershipoffers internships and job opportunities, mentorship, networking, professional development skills,enhanced public relations and leadership opportunities and agency tours (including a trip to Santa Barbaraand an inside look at Madonna Inn). Our meetings will be held on Thursdays during winter quarter from11a.m.-12p.m.

If you are inquiring about PRSSA membership, I want to inform you that the deadline for dues is Friday,November 4th. Dues are $75 for the whole year and will include countless benefits as mentioned above.

This is money well spent! I just got back from PRSSA National Conference and multiple agenciesincluding Hunter PR, Edelman, Ketchum and Porter Novelli all said they look for involvement in PRSSAon a resume. Get your foot in the door and join PRSSA before it's too late.

If youre a declared public relations concentration or considering a communications-related career, I hopeyou become a member of PRSSA. Joining PRSSA helps you build a portfolio, develop lasting friendshipswith like-minded peers, gain those essential professional skills and become a leader. I have been involved inPRSSA since I was a freshman, and I feel that my active participation has made me confident aboutentering the work force upon graduation.
