PRSSA R.O.P.E. in Success Event
On April 19th, 2007 a group of over 70 alumni, friends and students came together to celebrate the outstanding achievements of the members of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). The PRSSA R.O.P.E. in Success event had a unique name, as R.O.P.E stands for Research, Objective, Programming, and Evaluation, which is an important theme in the Public Relations program and industry.
The R.O.P.E in Success event was an informal cocktail hour that gave friends a chance to network and relive old memories. Current seniors presented their Bateman Presentations, which exemplified how well the PRSSA is preparing future leaders in this field.
The highlight of the night came when Tom Coyne, President of Coyne Public Relations, was honored for his continued support of Public Relation’s students here at Seton Hall. Tom, while not an alum of Seton Hall University, currently employs nine full-time employees and two interns, all of whom have attended and been members of Seton Hall’s PRSSA. Tom says Seton Hall University students who go through the Public Relations program, under the leadership of advisor Dr. Kathleen Donohue Rennie, are some of the best prepared students in this highly competitive job market.
The night also saw nine graduating seniors receive their honor cords for graduation. This is the first year that the PRSSA has presented seniors with honor cords making the night even more memorable for those in attendance.
The event was a great way to send the seniors off into the working world and honor a friend of the University that does so much for our students.
The PRSSA R.O.P.E in Success event was part of the Office of Alumni Relations mini-reunion initiative that brings back specific constituency groups to campus. For more information on this event or other mini-reunions, please contact Ryan Witt at (973) 378-9821.
