Why are you interested in a career in public relations? Madison said she’s interested in a career in public relations to help give a voice to those who do not have the means to speak for themselves. She hopes to help connect people with resources to people in need and advocate for individuals who deserve a better life. She loves the idea of utilizing her passion for communication to benefit the lives of others. Please join me in congratulating Madison Oberg.

Stephanie Lowther from UTA (graduating May 2015)

Why do you think it is important for a PR student to be involved in PRSSA? As the current president of the UTA PRSSA chapter, I believe it is absolutely beneficial for students to join PRSSA. The is the only organization of campus that is geared toward PR students. It is a good group of people that can meet and share ideas and concerns with. We also have workshops and guest speakers that help students grow professionally. It truly does build the gap between student and professional.

Congratulations to Madison and Stephanie.
