The University of Houston chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) is here to help. "PRSSA membership opens the door to a network of support and contacts to aid in my job search and teaches practical skills in resume writing, interviewing, and much, much more," said senior public relations major Teneshia Eleby. There were immense benefits to being a PRSSA member. A mentorship program set undergraduate members up with professional members of the national organization of the Public Relations Society of America. PRSSA members were also treated to interesting and informative speakers like Ben "Can I Help You?' Junior public relations major Fabian Sifuentes gives potential Cougars some information on the Public Relations Student Society of America. PRSSA and many other campus organizations set up booths during the annual "Cougar Preview" to get their names out to hundreds of young high school seniors considering the University of Houston as their choice for the upcoming year.

Additionally, there was a National Conference held annually for PRSSA members which provided priceless information and introductions to contacts that could be of great use in the future. This year's conference was held in Atlanta. It is held in a different city every year and so not only was it informative, it also gave members an opportunity to travel. "Networking is a vital part of any profession. The contacts our members make almost always lead to internships or future employment. There is much to be gained from meeting others who share an interest in your field of study."
