UW-Oshkosh Members Jet to San Diego for Conference

Six members of the Oshkosh chapter of PRSSA will be heading off to San Diego on Nov. 6th to learn all about our profession of public relations! Such great opportunities await us all at national conference in professional development sessions, banquets and mixers with professionals.

UW-Oshkosh will also accepting the second place prize we have won through the National Organ Donor Awareness Competition put on every year by Rowan University. UW-Oshkosh has taken first place in 2007 and 2008.

Another great reason to attend national conference is the awards banquet. Each year, hundreds of PRSSA members apply for scholarships, awards and other honors and the awards banquet is where the winners are all awarded their prizes. This year also marked a new competition. Each chapter had the opportunity to hand-pick five of its members to be on a campaign team that would create a PR plan for the CW Network and their two shows; 90210 and Melrose Place. At the awards banquet, the UW-Oshkosh CW Campaign Team will finally hear the results of their campaign!

Stop back for when we post all of our discoveries that we learned of at national conference!

PRSSA Hands Out Candy to Community

On Oct. 29th the UW-Oshkosh PRSSA members volunteered their time to pass out candy for Reeve Union Board's Annual Halloween Carnival in Titan Underground.
Community families are invited to step onto campus and play carnival games and get candy in the process!

The PRSSA game was "Pick-A-Duck" which turned out to be a hit with the little ones! If they picked out a duck with a sticker of Snoopy on the bottom, they received candy and some spooky glasses from a ladybug, Hulkamania and Snow White!! Thanks to everyone to came out and supported this great event!

Check out photos of all the fun here!
