PRSSA University of Delaware

Last Thursday, we embarked on our annual Fall Field Trip to Athena Global Advisors. We started off the day with opening remarks directly from the CEO. Then, we heard from professionals on the events & experiences, creative, integrated marketing, data & optimization, and project management teams. Two big takeaways from this experience were to never sell yourself short and that change is the one thing that is consistent. Huge thank you to Athena Global Advisors and Grace Kearns Kearns, our Director of External Affairs for making this event possible!

We had so much fun on Monday at our Coffee with a Professor Event! Thank you Tara L. Smith, M.S., APR for sharing all of your insights with us! We learned so much about the ins and outs of Public Relations, planning for the future, and much more. Looking forward to our next event already!

This year, our Executive Board had the opportunity to travel to Anaheim, California for the PRSSA ICON National Conference. We learned from keynote speakers and panelists, connected with fellow PRSSA students and PRSA members, and much more. Some key takeaways from our keynote speakers included: find the solution before focusing on the problem, opportunities come disguised as challenges, and you don’t need superpowers to do incredible things. Each member of our Executive Board left with newfound knowledge, applicable skills, and a stronger network. We are so grateful for this experience and can’t wait for next year!
