Do you have a need for speed...networking?

Circular tables will be set up in Baker Ballroom A. Professionals and students will be spread out among the tables and members will have a short amount of time to network with each professional at the table; when the whistle blows, it’s off to the next table!
Please do not bring your resume to this event. If you have business cards, however, be sure to bring some along to exchange with the professionals. A finalized list of what professionals are attending will be released soon.
The attire for this event is BUSINESS CASUAL and it will be from 6-8PM in Baker Ballroom A. Even if you can’t stay for both hours, stop in when you can.If you have any questions, please e-mail Ali Myers at alikmyers@gmail.com

As requested by one of our members, our meeting tomorrow will be all about the basics of the profession of public relations. Our very own Michelle Honald has graciously volunteered to fill the chapter in about what PR is, the different areas you can go into in PR, possible salaries and much more.
Freshmen and Sophomores- This meeting will be a great help to those of you who do not have much knowledge about the professions.
