Social media, leadership and generational differences

Hey all!

This presentation will feature:

Well known for his research in underlying generational values and beliefs that have guided the decision-making of Americans for decades, Underwood will address how different generations of Americans have approached leadership. He will also touch upon the generational dynamics present in both the workplace and marketplace today.

Weaver is considered an authority in social media; he speaks for many organizations, including American Marketing Association, Public Relations Society of America and American Advertising Federations.

Monday's Meeting, Sept. 14

I hope everyone has had a great first week of classes! Our first meeting will be tomorrow, Monday, Sept. 14 at 6 p.m. in Scripps 111. We will be hosting our first guest speaker for the year, Aaron Brown. Traditionally, we host Aaron as the first speaker of the quarter because he's an E.W. Scripps alumnus and a former OU PRSSA president. He always provides us with wonderful advice and tips from the professional public relations world.
Currently, Brown is an Associate Vice President at Fahlgren Mortine Public Relations, one of the largest PR agencies in the Midwest region, based in Columbus.

The Chicago Connection

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!
