Activities and Honors (Sect. 2)

Over time, the PRSSA firm at NIU had slightly crumbled. By my junior year, attendance and participation had gone downhill severely and a large percent of the NIU student body didn’t know who we were. At the decision of our executive board, it was our mission to spread the word of our chapter around campus and re-establish the Betsy Plank chapter. We also decided that it would be in the chapter’s best interest for a number of executive board members to attend the PRSSA National Conference - that included the president, contact director, PR coordinator and myself. There, I met PRSSA members from all over the United States. Our members became particularly close to the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh Chapter. When we returned from Detroit, our hearts were in PRSSA and we were ready to make the remainder of the Fall semester and Spring semester fantastic. I had already scheduled a firm visit to Ketchum, which went very smoothly.
