Lauren HeberlingWhat I have gained as a PRSSA member:
PRSSA has given me more than I could have imagined when I joined as a first-year. I was just looking for a way to get involved on campus, but PRSSA helped me grow in so many ways and as a senior, I enjoy looking back at all I have gained as a member. First off, I gained friendships with my classmates. I have been on the executive board of PRSSA for three years now and have gotten to know so many intelligent, reliable and dedicated people. From going on trips to Blue Jackets games, to carpooling to PaRtners conferences, I have made so many memories with the people of PRSSA that I would have not known otherwise. Secondly, I have gained leadership experience. I have held different positions on the board such as social media director, membership chair, PaRtners Conference liaison and now the VP of programming. Through these roles I have gained social media experience, event planning knowledge and have taken on a large responsibility in the success of our chapter. Lastly, I have gained knowledge about how to work as a team, which will translate into the workplace upon graduation in the spring. Communication depends on the cooperation of teammates and I have received a lot of practice as a member of PRSSA. The skills I need in the professional world have been fostered here and have helped prepare me for whatever career is in my future. I am grateful for the role PRSSA has played in my education at Otterbein and I encourage anyone who is looking to challenge themselves and grow as students to join.
