Public Relations Organization (PRO)

PRO has historically assisted in the hosting of or sponsored many campus events, including the annual Communication Alumni Brunch/Luncheon during homecoming week and the department's Award Luncheon during Communication Week (typically held each Spring semester during April). The April 2008 field trip pictures to the Georgia Aquarium are just one example of a student activity visiting a professional PR practitioner in action.
Peer mentoring is another benefit of joining this student organization.The Public Relations Organization is arguably the most active student organization for communication students at JSU. They strive to provide opportunities for student enhancement including mock portofolio review sessions and job interviews, as well as student lunch get-togethers on multiple occasions. They "spread the word", information about events/activities through campus press releases such as the one below, and interactive with the student media and local media outlets whenever possible. Amber Cannon has been elected as the new President for the 2009-2010 academic year, and those interested can contact her at ambermcannon@live.com.
