Calling All PRSSA & JMC Alumni

Newly elected officers of the Murray State Chapter of PRSSA are planning for a PR packed fall 2024 semester. An important part of the student organization’s plan focuses on a new “Let’s Talk PR” lecture series. To ensure its success, the students are asking to feature YOU, our Racer JMC Alumni.

No matter what field you are working in today, in what state or part of the world, you are invited to come in person or via Zoom to tell today’s students about what you do and how Murray State and the JMC Department helped you get there.

This is an opportunity for our members to connect with alumni as well as help them gain insight on where a degree from Murray State’s JMC Department can take them. PRSSA meets every Thursday at 5 p.m. If you would like to participate in the lecture series during the 2024-25 academic year, please reach out via email to one of the officers or advisors listed below.

Faculty Advisor: Elizabeth Thomas (ethomas@murraystate.edu)
Mentor: Dr. Marcie Hinton (mhinton@murraystate.edu)
Chapter President: Ellie Krouse (ekrouse@murraystate.edu)
Chapter Vice President: Natalie Gardner (ngardner2@murraystate.edu)
