Waynesburg University PRSSA honored as Star Chapter
Waynesburg University’s chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America was honored as a Star Chapter for the third consecutive year Nov. 7, at the PRSSA National Conference in Atlanta.
PRSSA oversees about 344 chapters and 11,000 members in four countries.
This year, only 43 of the organization’s chapters received Star Chapter status, placing Waynesburg University in the top 13 percent.
“Receiving this recognition from PRSSA National is such an incredible and rewarding accomplishment,” said Jordan Mitrik, vice president of Waynesburg’s chapter of PRSSA.
The Star Chapter recognition is awarded to chapters that meet at least eight of 10 requirements set by the organization’s national headquarters.
Some of the requirements include attending a PRSSA national event, completing a community service initiative, conducting a high school outreach program and earning media recognition.
