Advertising Federation and Public Relations Student Society of America
Purpose: Point Park's University Chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) is a student group based off of PRSA, also known as Public Relations Society of America. The PRSSA group participates in bi-weekly meetings, discussions and tours to local agencies. The group also networks with other college PRSSA's in hopes to gain professional and insightful tactics from one another. The PRSSA group exemplifies leadership and real world experience by promoting events for Point Park Universities groups and discusses local public relations trends happening in today's society.
Point Park Student Chapter of American Advertising Federation serves students and the university with a link to both the Pittsburgh Advertising Federation locally and the American Advertising Federation nationally. These are the two largest professional groups of advertising executives and professionals in the field. Students gain networking insights, career guidance and the opportunity to augment classroom instruction in advertising through the activities of the club. The university gains a positive reputation among professionals from this linkage.
