MUPRSSA First Quarter
We kicked off the semester with an informational meeting detailing our
chapter’s plans for this semester (see left column). Our first event took place
on Wednesday, Oct. 6. Evan Zeppos, owner of Zeppos & Associates PR
Agency, and John Rumpf, director of marketing communications at Baird,
spoke to us about the differences between working in a corporation versus
public relations agency. Students learned what steps to take to land their
first internship and ultimately land a job in public relations. Evan and John
actively answered all members’ questions and many students had positive
feedback to provide about the event.
We are excited to meet for the first time as a formal chapter comprised of all
our paid members at our next meeting on Oct. 27. Students who have not
paid will unfortunately not be able to attend the meeting, so make sure you
get your membership form and chapter fee turned into Dr. Gee Ekachai’s
mailbox or emailed to [email protected] by Oct. 25.

To be a part of our chapter and upcoming events you must be a paid

E-board Attends PRSSA National Conference
This year we are facilitating three
new programs in our chapter’s
plans. We will announce a new
member of the month based on a
point system, host a social media
challenge and start a new
mentor/mentee program between
PRSSA members.
Member of the Month:
Every member will be in the
running to become PRSSA’s
member of the month based on a
point system. We will set in place
E-board traveled to Washington D.C. and learned new ways to
advance Marquette’s chapter
different amounts of points for specific
tasks members take on throughout the
month. At the end of each month, the
member with the most points will be
awarded member of the month, receive
a prize and gain experience as our guest
blogger.
Social Media Challenge:
Ready. Set. Tweet away! Each member
will get a point for every retweet or reply
they send to @marquettePRSSA. In
addition, members will receive a point
for any comments left on our facebook
page. At the end of the challenge the
member with the most
tweets/comments will receive a fun
social media themed prize.
Mentor/Mentee Program:
Members will be assigned an e-board
member as their personal student
mentor for the year. Mentees can
utilize this opportunity to gain insights
on how e-board members landed their
first internships, ask for class help or ask
any questions they have about the PR
field in a more intimate setting.

become a member!
E-board members Alexis Dremonas and Kate Newman started the planning process to launch Marquette University’s first student run public relations firm. The firm will be 100% student run allowing students to work directly with clients in the greater Milwaukee area and throughout Marquette University’s campus. The students will implement public relations skills by writing various publications while working toward successfully promoting the client. This will give our members a chance to experience the inner workings of a public relations agency at the University level. Look out for applications to apply for our limited positions at the next PRSSA meeting on Oct. 27!
