DePaul University PRSSA

Introducing your 2026-2027 DePaul PRSSA Executive Board! 🎉

We are thrilled to introduce this incredible group of students who will be leading our chapter this year, with some familiar faces and exciting new ones.

This year, we're looking forward to creating meaningful connections, events, and new opportunities for every member.

Shoutout to Sydney as well, who is taking on a role at the international level! 🌟

Here's to an amazing year ahead! 💙

As we close out the 2025–26 school year, we’re looking back on an incredible year of accomplishments. ✨

In October, we brought home the Dr. F. H. Teahan Outstanding Chapter Award at ICON, the highest honor a PRSSA chapter can receive. Earlier this year, we welcomed more than 140 students from across the Midwest and beyond to our PRSSA Midwest District Conference, the largest district conference we’ve ever hosted! 🏆

None of this would have been possible without our members, alumni, advisors, sponsors, and everyone who has supported us along the way. Thank you for being part of our journey.

To our graduating members: thank you for the impact you’ve made on our chapter. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors; we can’t wait to see what you accomplish next. 💙

Signing off,
The 2025–2026 DePaul PRSSA Executive Board

This week, we celebrated our annual spring social event, PRADuation, honoring the graduating members of DePaul PRSSA and welcoming our new 2026-27 Executive Board!

We also presented the Outstanding Supporter Awards to Tweed Thornton, the Publicity Club of Chicago, and Bridgette Russell, with the award accepted on her behalf by Andrew Krause, in recognition of their contributions and support throughout the past year.

Thank you to everyone who joined in the festivities, and congratulations once again to all of our graduating seniors! 💙🎓

Getting our hands dirty for a good cause 🌱

This past weekend, DePaul PRSSA spent time gardening at Maxwell Street Community Garden for Vincentian Service Day 2026, and we loved every second of it. 💙

We’re proud to give back to the Chicago community, which has always been at the heart of what we do.

New blog post just dropped!🚨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our DePaul PRSSA x PRSA Chicago mixer, Cultivating Connections, last week! We loved the conversations around PR and communications careers and seeing PRSSA and PRSA members connect and learn from one another.

Especially glad that PRSSA students from other Illinois and Indiana chapters were able to participate. Can’t wait for the next session! 💙

Come volunteer with DePaul PRSSA this Vincentian Service Day, Saturday, May 2, 2026, and make a meaningful impact in our community! 💙

Join us as we partner with a Chicago-based organization to give back and support those in need, while connecting with others in our DePaul community who share a passion for service.

Thank you to The Motion Agency for welcoming us into your space last week, and a special shoutout to Andrew Krause and Hannah Marshall for sharing your insights and helping us better understand your roles and the agency as a whole.

This visit was especially exciting as we collaborated with Niles Township High Schools, welcoming students to join us for the site visit and continuing the conversation with a talkback session back at DePaul University.

Thank you again to everyone who joined us. We loved having you with us!
