☆2020-2021 Executive Board Feature☆

Meet Greta Haas!

Hometown: Menomonie, WI

This summer, Greta worked at Igor in West Des Moines as a marketing and communications intern. She also completed the PR Council's Agency Ready Certificate program.

“I first got involved in PRSSA my freshman year as a way to build upon the PR skills and knowledge I was gaining in my coursework. I was interested in the opportunity to collaborate with other passionate public relations students and gain hands on experience in the field of PR. My favorite aspect of PRSSA is the connections people are able to build within the organization. Whether that be with other Drake students through community partner work, PR professionals in PRSA or students from other universities I have met through PRSSA conferences, I have learned so much from those who I have met through PRSSA. Public relations is such a collaborative industry where connections truly matter, and PRSSA helps you build those connections. This year I am really looking forward to growing our chapter. I am excited to see how PRSSA students will be resilient and adapt to the changing environment.”
