November Update from the PRSSA


Hello again @MoStatePRSSA followers! Yesterday we had another meeting in good old Craig Hall, and it went really well. We conducted a “Day of Competition,” which gave our members a chance to present how they would have reacted to the Tiger Woods crisis. I think it went well, and we even brought in Ann Elwell, the current PRSA president-elect, and Tom Ellis, the PRSA programming chair, to judge the competition. Unfortunately, our fantastic judges did not agree upon a solid winning team, so the Executive Board had to take it upon ourselves to decide the winners, who excitingly enough all got $10 gift cards to Chipotle!
                  For our next meeting we are going to tour Noble and Associates, and then hopefully going to eat at Prima’s Mexican Grill after! We are very excited for the tour, considering we are in the middle of working through our first semester of the student-run PR firm, Bear Communications! Hopefully the Noble employees will be able to teach us a thing or two.
                  A couple updates, going along with Bear Communications include: the GYN Cancer Alliances’ Wine tasting event is on November 14, and Big Brothers Big Sister’s 2nd annual Beerfest  event is on November 21. We are all very excited, and will basically all be volunteering as long as everybody is 21! J
                  That’s all for now, but as always please follow us on Twitter at @MoStatePRSSA or check us out on Facebook at Missouri State Uninversity PRSSA! Have a good day, talk to you again soon.
Sincerely,
Lindsay Van Quaethem
