Reviews on PR Workout Day

Here are some insights from students who participated in PR Workout Day this year:

"Prior to joining PRSSA, I was involved in a lot of other organizations on campus and they often had problems with various aspects of PR. Since I wanted to increase diversity within PRSSA, I thought that these two issues could go hand-in-hand. We, as a PR organization, could help all these student groups and in return, we would increase the diversity in majors and in people who are a part of PRSSA. I spoke to Dr. Jones, our faculty advisor, and after a few meetings, we created the event." Debbie Ebalobo (PRSSA Officer)

"PRWorkout is such a valuable event because it applies to everyone. There are hundreds of students involved in organizations at UGA, and all of them can benefit by learning even the most basic public relations practices." Lauren Coppage (PR Workout Day organizer)

"Personally, I loved PRWorkout. Having actual students and people who have
been in our shoes as students come back to talk with us made it even more
credible, especially in the area of media relations, with Lindley and Lauren, and
of course your event planning and fundraising session. The Powerpoint and
packet contents we had for your section were awesome!" Michael Gray (Attendee on behalf of UGA Miracle)
