We hope everyone had a marvelous Thanksgiving! It is almost our favorite day of the week. With internship hunting about to begin, PRSSA has planned a panel of your very own PRSSA members to offer advice on snagging the perfect internship!
Please join us in Scripps 111 tomorrow, November 26 at 6:00 p.m. for our weekly PRSSA Meeting. This week will be our Student Internship Panel.
