During the trip, members met the national conference committee and other public relations professionals, got the chance to hear several high-profile speakers, explored possible public relations fields to pursue post graduation and learned the skills necessary to network and build relationships. The trip was immensely successful, giving students insight and professional development to prepare for a career in public relations.
