Silent Auction Thank You

On Thursday, Sept. 26, PRSSA Kent hosted its annual Homecoming Silent Auction in Franklin Hall led by VP of Fundraising and Community Outreach Caitlyn Soya. All MDJ students, faculty, alumni and friends had the opportunity to place their bids, enjoy refreshments and make their way back and forth to place higher bids.

We are so excited to share that we raised $2,045 from the auction, exceeding our goal of $2,000. Half of the funds were used to support students’ travel to the ICON conference in Anaheim, California. The other half will support future programming, graduation stoles and events for members.
