Public Relations Career Paths Panel Shows the Strength of PRSSA Kent Family

In September, PRSSA Kent hosted five public relations professionals from diverse industries for an educational panel. The conversation highlighted the variety of careers PR students can pursue. All five panelists were Kent State alumni, and four were former members of PRSSA Kent. The panel included: Hannah Mayer, regional marketing coordinator at Live Nation; Camryn Stephens, sponsorship marketing specialist at Key Bank; Deanna Stevens Ulrich, director of digital content at Kent State; Zach Zdanowicz, social media strategist at JOANN Stores; and Caroline Willis, a Film and Series Publicist and Account Coordinator at Allied Global Marketing.

This alumni-driven event was a testament to PRSSA Kent’s strong community. Willis shared her desire to support the organization after graduating.

 “The most valuable part of my PRSSA Kent experience was seeing our alumni network come to life at panels like this one! So I was happy to come back,” Willis said.

For students who didn’t attend, don’t worry! We still have plenty of programming with Kent State alumni. Our upcoming event: Fashion PR in the Age of Influencers panel on October 29th, features Lauryn Oglesby, email and mobile digital marketing coordinator for American Eagle and Kelly Gentile VP of creator strategy at L’OREAL, both of whom are Kent State graduates.
