About PRSSA UW-Madison

The Story Behind Our Student Club

PRSSA, UW-Madison Chapter holds meetings every other week during the course of the academic year. Meetings feature guest professional speakers from a variety of communication fields. Our meetings offer networking opportunities with professionals and their respective companies, the ability to develop PR and communication skills through hands-on activities and the chance to meet other students interested in public relations, communication, journalism or marketing. Networks foster tips for successful careers in PR and can offer helpful information on being admitted to the School of Journalism, the Business School or the Communication Arts major.

PRSSA hosts agency tours in cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee and Madison. We hold an annual PRSSA conference with sessions catered to various student needs in the areas of PR and marketing.

Additional hands-on experience is found in our student-run PR firm, open to members of our PRSSA chapter. As a member of a national organization, members are invited to attend national conferences and join PR networks with like-minded students and professionals around the nation.
