You will also help raise money for Flashathon, Relay for Life and Betsy Plank Day as well as coming up with other community service opportunities. If you’re interested, contact Grace Kindl at gkindl@kent.edu.
Communications Connection: The committee will assist the Intercampus Liaison by promoting the event to communications students, specifically PR and advertising majors, planning food and decorations for the event, and interacting with professionals before and after the event. The Communications Connection Committee is a unique opportunity to network and collaborate with Ad Club officers and members. Volunteers will also help sign in attendees at the event, set up the round tables and clean up. To join this committee, contact Emily King at eking40@kent.edu.
YouToo Social Media Conference: The YouToo committee helps the two PRSSA co-chairs with student promotion from January thru mid-April each year to encourage students to register and attend. The committee also consists of day-of volunteers who help with set up, greeting attendees to Franklin and clean up. PRSSA officers appoint two student co-chairs to assist Akron Area PRSA with planning for the conference, which takes place in Franklin Hall each April. Co-chairs participate in conference calls each week with the professionals and specifically help out with student promotion via flyers, class visits, sending registration packets to area colleges and universities, Facebook, Twitter and more. To join this committee, contact Kayla Polansky at kpolans2@kent.edu.
