Public Relations & Marketing Students Enjoy Chance To ‘Meet The Professionals’
Niagara University’s Public Relations Student Society (PRSSN) hosted its first-ever communications and marketing “Meet the Professionals Night” on April 5. Thirteen professionals attended to speak with students about their careers, give advice, and offer connections to jump-start their future.
“This event is a great opportunity to get students out of their comfort zone by networking with professionals,” said Jennifer Gallo, president of PRSSN. “These connections could really help them in the future.”
Many of the students and PRSSN club members were there to mingle with the professionals and get their name out there, including a freshman student named Michael Pearl, who came prepared with his own résumé and business cards.
“I really learned a lot tonight about careers in PR and marketing, especially PR,” said Pearl. “I got to meet people who I didn’t even know had jobs in the area.”
