Our Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) group held its first meeting for the 2008-2009 school year. The meeting was an organizational and informational meeting open to all business majors. The main topics of discussion at the meeting were electing new officers for open positions and setting goals for the upcoming year.

PRSSA at Tabor College is advised by Dr. Norman Hope, and is headed by President Cassondra Huxman and Vice President Kyle Bassinger. The positions that were open for election were Secretary, Treasurer and Public Relation Coordinator. After the members attending the meeting took a vote, Juli Richardson was named PRSSA Secretary, Orson Thomas was named PRSSA Treasurer, and Joe Quest was named PRSSA Public Relations Coordinator.

The main goal of PRSSA is to provide all participants with helpful information regarding the real world. PRSSA will be bringing in different types of businesses to present knowledgeable and valuable information regarding their business and its work field. Furthermore, PRSSA is also planning on taking some business trips to off-campus sites to gain a more first-hand experience. Kansas City was the hot topic of discussion regarding locations of the businesses they wish to visit.

PRSSA is a great opportunity for business majors to interact with each other and gain more valuable information outside the classroom. It is a great window opportunity for all those individuals who partake in the group.
