No PRSSA Chapter At Your School?

PRSSA offers an affiliate membership to students who attend universities without a PRSSA chapter. For more information on the affiliate program, visit http://www.prssa.org/about/affiliate.aspx. 
If your college does not have a PRSSA program, please contact us.  We can put you in touch with faculty and, in some cases, PR-oriented student groups at your school.
