The Chicago Connection

Friday, September 4, 2009

Hello past, present and future PRSSA members! I hope all of you have enjoyed a fantastic Summer, whether it be completing an internship, relaxing by the pool or just graduating High School!

I have had the privilege of meeting and knowing many of you personally and am sad that this is my first year not being directly involved in the chapter. As your immediate past President, I invite you contact me with any questions about getting started in the PR field or simply as an alumni connection.

As some of you know, I am preparing to move to Chicago to begin at Weber Shandwick later this month. If you are interested in an internship in the area, I would be more than happy to assist you with finding contacts. Bobcats span the globe and are ready to help when asked!

You can reach me at pauljmatson@gmail.com or on Twitter (@PaulMatson). I wish each of you the best as you begin the new school year - I have no doubt that it is going to be the best year of PRSSA to date. You have an extremely bright and talent executive board with a fantastic faculty advisor leading the chapter. Good luck with your first week of classes and say hello to Athens for me!

Go Bobcats!
